THE EXPERTS IN ALL THINGS BUTCHER BLOCK
We're the leading online seller of high-quality wood countertops and butcher block kitchen island tops, plus kitchen furniture, equipment and accessories. But our name sums it up: we specialize in butcherblock. BB Co. sells everything from old-fashioned butchers' blocks to modern kitchen islands with seating; from rolling carts to butcher block tables; from small cutting boards and chopping blocks to expansive cutting board tables and kitchen island butcher block tops. Not only do we offer the best assortment of products for residential kitchens and home cooks, we also offer a wide range of products designed for commercial kitchens and embraced by professional chefs.
Edge-Grain, End-Grain and Blended Styles
Butchers use blocks constructed in a number of different styles. Visit our Help Center for an explanation of the differences. There you'll learn that edge-grain boards feature long wooden rails that run the full length of the block, providing an especially clean look of continuity. In contrast, each ribbon of a Blended block incorporates multiple wood pieces finger-jointed together. End-grain butcher boards are created by arranging short strips of wood standing on ends, creating a beautiful checkerboard design and a tough, resilient cutting surface comprised of millions of wood fibers.
Butcher Block Countertops Are Our Specialty
We sell our own line of BB Co. butcher block and plank countertops, plus countertops made by John Boos & Co. Boos countertops come in premium, residential, commercial and industrial grades. Any Boos end grain block will make a spectacular butcher block island countertop. While any professional chef is likely to prefer the same, he or she might have to settle for an edge-grain butcher block top island since they're a bit more affordable.
Boos counter and kitchen island tops come in four different species of North American hardwood: maple, cherry, red oak and walnut; three different grain styles: edge, end and blended (aka finger-jointed edge grain); and seven different thicknesses - from 1-1/2 inches up to 7 inches. A wide array of standard sizes (i.e., popular length, width and thickness combinations) is available. With so many off-the-shelf sizes to choose from, chances are you'll discover a standard-size offering that suits your needs. But if you can't, you'll find it a breeze to specify, price and purchase a custom butcher block island top or countertop designed and made to your exact specifications.

John Boos, Our Featured Brand, Was Founded 130 Years Ago
Actually, it was John Boos' father, Conrad, who made the first Boos Block in 1887 in Central Illinois. Those early Boos Blocks were used by blacksmiths, who until that time did their heavy hammering and pounding on tree stumps. By adding sturdy legs to thick sycamore slabs sliced from tree trunks, Boos and his son John created a heavy-duty work table perfectly suited for smithies' rugged chores. When the younger Boos discovered that local Midwestern meat butchers shops had a similar need for an exceptionally sturdy wood work table on which they could chop and pound with abandon, the butcher's block was born. Over time, Boos & Co. expanded its product line to include everything from cutting and chopping boards to countertops, and even kitchen carts, tables and islands. Next Boos expanded into commercial restaurant equipment - a market which the company now leads.
The John Boos Commercial Line Includes Baker's Tables, Stainless Steel Tables & Enclosed Base Cabinets, Dining Table Tops & More
Commercial bakeries treasure Boos-made, maple-top baker's tables equipped with risers that help keep foodstuff on the table and off the floor, making cleanup quick and easy. Restaurants and delis, as well as industrial and food plants, trust the company's stainless steel work tables and enclosed-base cabinets, as well as their commercial sinks. And you will find Boos dining table tops in eating establishments of all sizes and styles. They come in maple, cherry, oak and walnut and in edge-grain or blended construction styles.
