what kind of wood is the butcher block, someone wrote it is bamboo, is that correct?

I don't remember what color it was because we sent it back. It wasn't well built and we found a much better built one for less.

The answer I received when I emailed the manufacturer that question in August, 2015: it is made of rubberwood, not bamboo, and is solid, not hollow.

That is correct. It is sliced and glued - looks "kind of" oak-ish. From a usability perspective though, it is an excellent surface

I'm sorry I'm not sure. It is not wood but I would say to me this product was worth the price. it did the job. It's clean and neat and the color black will fit in with any type of décor.

It is wood. It is a nice clarinet and my son enjoyed playing it until he decided he wanted to play the SAX!!

Hi Kay: I don't know this topic, but another customer (Stiles) wrote this about end grain in a review of another cutting board: "this board is constructed of EDGE grain maple, not END grain maple. This makes a huge difference when chopping and slicing. End grain cutting boards and butcher blocks are prefered by home and professional chefs for a number of reasons. End grain construction does not dull the edges of expensive cutlery the way Edge grain does. End grain boards also cut easier, have a more varied and figured grain, and a cutting surface that lasts longer." Hope it helps.

Both...The cutting boards are made by Michigan Maple Block of Petoskey, MI. Their sister company Bally Block is in PA, but does not make cutting boards. I am also located in MI. Michigan Maple has been in business since 1881 and is largely a manufacturer of butcher block island tops, counter tops, industrial tables, benches, etc. They started the term and manufacturing of "butcher block", in fact. You may look at their website butcherblock.com if interested. Thanks, Dawn

I have no idea what kind of wood it is, but it IS wood. I LOVE this thing! I even use it to mash avocados to make guacamole.

No, you cannot. It's decorative only, not a real butcher block. I had a piece of glass made to cover the 'wood' top. It's a very nice piece!

It's wood and I treated it as such WITH several coats of linseed oil. I love the knife.David Jones

I know that they make many different sets of knives with different wooden blocks. Usually the knives fit into the block quite easily, so I am wondering if they sent you the wrong wooden block for the knife set that was purchased.

Its not a typical butcher block, but can be used as a cutting surface. It is quite thin though and is prone to splitting. I will be replacing my top after limited us for about a year.

why not? it is a hard wood. they have bamboo cutting boards. unless there is specific instuctions from the manufacturer stating otherwise.

Hello. I checked on this for you and on this item the select wood is a combination of pine and pressed wood. If you have any questions please contact us.

I made three butcher blocks for Christmas gifts this year so haven't had much time to evaluate. But no problems yet. I did look all over and I thought this was the best I could find. Hope this helps.

Chinese wood of some kind but solid. It's a well done piece and I've really enjoyed mine. A very good product for a really good price.
