Love butcher block! We did own own staining (food grade) for these walnut countertops ourselves in our last place when we did a mini-reconfigure. Sadly it was for the sale - one of those wished we'd done it sooner!

We want to partial reconfigure here so there would be some new cabinets (only a couple) and minimally a new section of countertop if not a full replace. I'm hoping painting makes me like the current countertop more!

Our butcher block is just in this section (my main food prep area) and it’s Oregon myrtlewood, just sealed with food grade oil and beeswax.

We did too. It grows in Southern Oregon, where my mom’s family is from and where our family beach cabin is. So it’s special to all of us.
