• There are a few different ways that you can get
  the look that you are going for in your kitchen.
  One of the ways many people have been choosing to
  get the look that they want is by installing wood
  butcher block countertops

• These are great alternatives to the laminate
  countertops because they allow you to get more
  done without having to worry about ruining the
  finish of the counter that you have in your
  kitchen when chopping right on the surface. Of
  course, once you have made this choice, it is a
  good idea to get the right size.

• Weighing sizing options is very important so that
  you will be able to get the counters which are
  large enough so that you can do what you want to
  do. You might think about installing free
  standing blocks so that you can add to the
  counter space.

• You might also think about installing channels in
  the boards that you have so that they will stop
  meat juices from spreading over the whole counter
  and onto the floor. If there is one thing for
  certain, these are much better options than when
  you have Formica countertops in your home.

• Cutting Islands?
• You can install a chopping block in your home
  which has wooden legs added to it. This will make
  a solid surface for you to cut things on. Even
  when doing something as rough as pounding meat to
  tenderize it, you will not have to worry about
  the blows causing the rest of the kitchen to
  shake. Those made by John Boos are so thick that
  it will absorb all of the energy from even the
  most zealous tenderizer. It is no wonder these
  are used by so many professional chefs in their
  kitchens.

• The Importance of Channels?
• The last thing that you want is to have a blood
  stain on your blue floors. This is why you might
  want to think about having channels in the wood
  butcher block countertops that you install. This
  will pool all juices from meat you are cutting
  into a reservoir. The juices can easily be
  cleaned up when you are cleaning the counter so
  that you will be able to maintain the look that
  you enjoy. These channels should represent the
  amount of juices you expect that it will need to
  hold so nothing spills over the side and on to
  the floor.
