CARE & FINISH
WHERE TO USE YOUR BUTCHER BLOCK
Certainly the ultimate kitchen will have natural butcher block countertops throughout. However, any design and
decor can be enhanced by the addition of this gorgeous, yet useful, surface. Many home chefs appreciate a
built-in cutting surface next to their cook top. A small section is also often used over the built-in dishwasher. A
butcher block island under a hanging pot rack makes a perfect prep area, or you may want to add the warmth
and beauty of butcher block as a raised breakfast bar with stools.
SELECTION OF FINISH
Swaner Hardwood oers two unique nishes. One is perfect for your application.
Penetrating Oil (Antimicrobial): If you wish to use your butcher block top as a cutting surface, this is the only
nish to purchase. Just like cutting boards and butcher blocks, the natural wood surface is protected by our
antimicrobial oil nish, which is absorbed into the bers and creates an antimicrobial hydrophobic surface. This
penetrating oil nish cleans up easily with mild soap and water. Wipe dry. It is advisable to periodically re-oil your
butcher block tops to preserve their beauty and durability. If, after heavy usage, you wish to remove cut marks,
just sand o the top and re-oil. It will look like new.
Varnique: This beautiful semi-gloss nish is virtually maintenance free. It is impervious to most household chem-
icals. Cleans up easily with mild soap and water. Wipe dry. The ne furniture look makes it the choice for kitchen
island bars and eating counters. Cuts into the nish should be resealed immediately to prevent the exposed
wood from absorbing moisture. Renish with EZ-DO Poly Gel.
REFINISH OIL & VARNIQUE TOPS
Oil Tops: Can be sanded with ne sandpaper, sanding with the grain and re-oiled with antimicrobial Boos Block
Mystery Oil or mineral oil. Note: oiled tops need to be oiled every 4-6 weeks. Maple turns white when dry. Oiled
tops can be renished with EZ-DO at any time through the life of the top. Wood must be clean, dry, well sanded,
free of dust and excess oil prior to application of EZ-DO.
Varnique Tops: can be spot sanded, if needed, or repair and renish with EZ-DO wipe-on poly gel.
