Would anyone use this on a butcher block top for a workshop table?

I don't know about this particular product because it doesn't say what the ingredients are, but pure tung oil is food safe once dried

Not the high gloss, maybe the low gloss or satin You don't want the glare from the overhead lights affecting you.

I would use it on a workshop table but not a butcher block as I done think it is food safe

This stuff is great for finishing furniture and any woodwork although it takes about five coats with drying time in-between. I belive that tung oil is toxic . I'm not really sure of that. I think a better choice for a work bench or butchers block would be linseed oil.

It might but I wouldn't try it. I'm sure it was not designed for that. It's a craft table.

The label says: "Ideal for butcher Blocks, Cutting Boards & Wooden Culinary Utensils". I Would include Bamboo in those.

I used this for the purpose of gluing stone and metal in an outside environment that would see all kinds of weather, smoke and heat(chimney top cap) and it was done in 2009-2010 and is still holding strong so I would think this should be a perfect application for this make of Liquid Nails. If the C table is not going to see weather at all, there may be a less expensive adhesive made by Liquid nails that would work just as well. See their website if questions at http://www.liquidnails.com/. Very informative site for all their products!

I would not. It is more of a craft table. I think it would be too small. Hope this helps.

I think it would work fine for that. It is pretty sturdy and will screw on any surface. Actually, I screwed it onto a piece of wood that was square.

Hi- No, the top is not butcher block. It is beautiful but is laminated wood. One of the people on Amazon suggested mounting the knife block upside down to store cutting boards in it. We didn't do that but don't use the top for food prep. Hope that helps. I will say we REALLY love the size and extra storage space it provides. It's fairly narrow plus we didn't mount the towel or knife rack which makes it the perfect size for us. Good luck in finding a good unit!Valerie

Even though the surface of the table is referred to as 'butcher block' I would not recommend cutting meat, fish, chicken or veggies on that surface. You may place a separate butting board on the butcher block surface. I suggest this primarily for health reasons because sharp knives can imbed microscopic bits of food and you may not be able to completely remove that residue. By using the separate cutting board you will preserve the beautiful surface. The table expands your food prep area beautifully in more ways than one. Enjoy.

I use it on any of my would projects. I make furniture and accessories from reclaimed items. Any items that may be used for food i always use beeswax for the finish. It should work well on the table as long as it is a smooth surface. For a more durable surface I would suggest at least 3 coats with a good buffing in between coats. To make the buffing easier on the table surface I use an orbital buffer, the type you would use to buff a car. I have one that I use just for my furniture projects. It is a small one put out by Turtle Wax. Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251425474054?lpid=82 Good luck with your project.

I gotta believe this would work great for any wood finish in outdoor conditions. My bar top still looks new after being in rain, heat and sun for the past year here in St Louis.

My block is wood and has spaces for steak knives. The one in this picture is not familiar to me. Sorry.

Please Do NOT sand your old butcher block table..If you do sand your taking the Patina off of it..Your butcher block is worth allot more if you just oil it..All the knife marks show its age, which is wonderful..Enjoy using your block, just oil it with Howard. It is food grade mineral oil, with E.I Love , Love any of Howard products..I use this oil for all my Old (family handed it down) Dough, and out of round big wood bowls..

I used it on a raw, stripped cedar chest. It looks fine. However, it has to be re-oiled fairly often to maintain the beauty of the wood.

I think it will do what you want. I had never heard of this stuff until I bought a butcher block and modified it to what I wanted. Part of the sales pitch is the coating is Good Stuff and that is the reason I tracked this down and bought it. I am pleased with the way it turned out, just be sure to apply in thin coats.

Yes, it's safe to use on cutting boards or butcher block counter tops. I actually have a butcher block from Ikea and I've been using this product ever since. It's great and doesn't leave a funky smell. I can cut my veggies and fruits right on the counter top.

It works great on my knives, but I'm just a novice chef. Not sure how it would hold up under a butchers use. I like it.

The table is made of several boards joined to make the length. Similar to butcher block.
