Recommendations & Insights for the Optimal Brooklyn Butcher Blocks Experience

Recommendations:

- We recommend that cutting boards be *at least* 1.25” for long grain, and 1.5” for end grain. Even at these thicknesses, warping is possible (counter tops are slightly more forgiving provided each corner can be screwed into place) - The overall square footage of an end grain top will impact what the minimum thickness should be for a piece. At a certain point, 1.75” is advised. For most countertops, 2” is advised.” - End grain works best as a Kitchen Island because it expands/contracts up to 7% along width and length. Long grain will do so along width and thickness. You can read more about Grain Orientation, Wood Types, Granite vs Wood, and about which wood is best on our blog.
