Butcher Block Desktops FAQs
If you're considering investing in a butcher block desktop/tabletop for your home office, school area, or hobby space, there are a few things you may want to know. Here are just some of the most common questions people ask:
Is butcher block good for a desk?
Yes, butcher block wood is an excellent choice for a desk, due to its durability and quality craftsmanship! In fact, the solid wood used in butcher block desks ensures that they are incredibly strong and long-lasting. Creating a butcher block desk involves layering strips of wood and applying pressure to glue them together. This process results in a desk that can withstand frequent movements and heavy use, making it highly resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, the natural aesthetic of butcher block adds a warm and timeless look to any workspace.
How to turn butcher block into a desk?
To create a butcher block desk, you'll start by selecting your preferred wood species and finish (either as an online or phone order). Popular choices include maple, walnut, and oak for their durability and beauty. Next, determine the size of your desk by measuring the desired length and width. After that, choose legs that will provide the appropriate table height. If necessary, resize the butcher block to fit your specifications. Sand down both sides of the wood to achieve a smooth surface, then apply your chosen finish to both sides and let it dry completely. Once the finish is dry, attach the legs securely. Finally, place your new butcher block desk in your desired location and enjoy your sturdy and stylish workspace!
Do I need to seal a butcher block desk?
Sealing a butcher block desk is an important step to maintaining the quality and durability of the wood long-term. Alternatively, you can use a butcher block oil or mineral oil/beeswax, which must be done regularly to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking. It is important to treat the bottom and ends of the butcher block as well. Overall, to reduce the need for reoccuring maintenance, we recommend sealing with Waterlox® which is the best way to prolong the lifespan of the butcher block wood desk.
What is the best wood for a butcher block desk?
Various types of wood can be used to make butcher block desks, with each offering unique benefits. Hardwoods such as maple, walnut, and oak are preferred for their exceptional durability and strength. Maple is a popular choice due to its hardness and fine grain, while walnut offers a rich, dark color that adds elegance to any workspace. Oak is also favored for its sturdiness and classic appearance. Other suitable woods include birch, acacia, and saman, which are known for their aesthetic appeal and resilience. When choosing the best wood for your butcher block desk, consider both the functional and visual qualities that will best suit your needs. Of course, our team can also help you choose your wood.
