About Wood (butcher block) countertops are made from either full-length continuous rails of wood that are glued together or random lengths of finger jointed interior rails (depending on what species of wood is chosen) to form a beautiful rich block style countertop that is unmatched for quality. Due to the natural materials, this unique countertop creation requires specialized craftsmanship that results in an 8–10-week lead time from final measurements. How It’s Made Traditions butcher blocks come from premium quality, renewable and sustainably harvested hard woods from the North American Great Lakes region. Butcher Block Benefits

Finish Options • Varnique Furniture Finish Characteristics

• Heat: Although resistant to heat, the use of trivets is recommended for hot pots and pans. Wipe up boiling water and hot liquids promptly to preserve the long-lasting beauty of the wood. • Scratches: While not meant as a cutting surface, minor cuts in the finish can be resealed to pre vent moisture from absorbing into the wood. It is not meant as a utilitarian surface, and although food safe, it should not be used as a food prep station. Customer’s should refrain from cutting directly on the countertop. • Water: The durable satin clear coat finish helps to safeguard against water. Easily remove liquids at the end of each use with a dry clean towel. Things to Know • Care: To disinfect your Traditions butcher block after cleaning use Lysol® or Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes. These wipes are available at Lowe’s, and report to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria when used as directed. Protective finish resists common stains and spills. Avoid harsh cleansers like bleach and ammonia. • Reseal: Minor scratches or cuts in Traditions Wood countertops are able to be resealed with EZ-DO Poly Gel. • Seams: A seam is a border/transition line between two pieces of countertops that is filled with a color matching epoxy/glue. Seams are very common in ALL building materials (cabinets, trim, flooring, etc.) and countertops are NO exception. A majority of countertop materials WILL HAVE visible seams without directional/veining, except for Solid Surface colors.
