Custom Butcher Block Island Tops

A wood island top can become the centerpiece of a kitchen. Brooklyn Butcher Blocks makes custom butcher block island tops to your dimensions, from compact work surfaces to large statement islands.

Choose from Black Walnut, Hard Maple, White Oak, and Cherry, with both edge grain and end grain construction available. Each top is made to order in New York and finished for use in the kitchen.

Made to Your Dimensions

Kitchen islands rarely come in one standard size. We build each custom island top around the dimensions and requirements of your project.

Whether you're looking for a traditional butcher block work surface, a large gathering island, or a wood top designed to complement stone countertops elsewhere in the kitchen, we can build the piece specifically for the space.

Custom options include:

• 
  Edge grain and end grain construction
  
• 
  Walnut, Maple, White Oak, and Cherry
  
• 
  Custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses
  
• 
  Sink and cooktop cutouts
  
• 
  Edge profiles and other detailing
  
• 
  Large-format island tops and overhangs

Edge Grain or End Grain?

Edge grain offers the classic butcher block appearance of long, continuous strips of hardwood. It's an excellent choice for larger kitchen islands and provides a clean, architectural look.

End grain exposes the ends of the wood fibers, creating the distinctive block pattern traditionally associated with butcher blocks. It's particularly well suited to islands intended to function as substantial food-preparation surfaces.

Built for Your Kitchen

We work with homeowners, designers, architects, cabinetmakers, and contractors on custom island tops for kitchens throughout New York City and the Hudson Valley, as well as projects shipped elsewhere in the United States.
