Limited Edition Maple Butcher Block
A sculptural kitchen essential in solid, end-grain sugar maple creates an enticing cutting surface replete with non-marring rubber feet for anti-slip grip. Designed in collaboration by Black Creek Mercantile & Trading Co. and Athena Calderone, the butcher block is sustainably sourced in domestic hardwood featuring food-safe, non-toxic finishes. Each piece bears a natural character that will lend itself to generations of use. Composed of bleached Maple, the board’s materiality is selected for its natural propensity for developing a distinctive wear pattern and “patina” with time. Athena’s personal board is featured often throughout EyeSwoon. While each edition will age beautifully in a style all its own, Athena’s bleached maple has taken on a honeyed, wheat-toned hue developed from persistent oiling over 5+ years of use. Material and Finish: Bleached maple end grain, hand-rubbed non-toxic linseed oil finish. Wood is a natural material and there may be imperfections and variations in every block.
Materials: Maple
Handmade to order in Kingston, New York.
This is a one-of-a-kind item and therefore each one is unique. Variations in color, texture, size, and shape should be expected.
This item is made to order by hand, all sales are final. View our complete Return Policy in our FAQs.
