Butcher Block Furniture

We happened upon Butcher Block one Saturday while we were wandering through the Thorp building. We noticed a few tables that caught our eye, and got the chance to talk with Steve, the owner. Immediately, he showed us into his small showroom where we got to see the extent of his creativity and craftsmanship. Even the cutting boards are magnificent! We eventually decided to order a coffee table. We mixed a few different styles that we saw in the showroom and told him a little about our aesthetics. He guided us toward some different woods, listened to what we were saying, and totally seemed to understand what we were going for. He gave us a time-​frame (4 weeks), and sent us on our merry way!
Well, we got our table four weeks later (someone who actually sticks to a time-​frame?! Unbelievable!) and are completely blown away. It’s exactly what we were hoping for. Steve incorporated all of the features that we wanted, even down to my crazy affinity for wood that has knots and imperfections in it — he specifically included knots in the legs so I’d get what I wanted! It uses all of the variations of textures and colors that we thought we wanted but is so much more beautiful than anything we could have ever envisioned. I know we’ll have this table forever, and I cannot say enough good things about Steve and his team. They are professional, creative, collaborative, efficient, and so, so talented. Next time your little one (or, let’s be honest, you) want to go see the Legos at Brickmania, wander down to Butcher Block! Even if you just walk out with a cutting board, you’ll be supporting an awesome local shop.
