[quote=Anonymous]We had one small section of butcher block countertop in our old kitchen. I spilled food coloring while making Christmas cookies and had to look at that blue stain the rest of the time we lived there. Nothing would take it out, short of having it sanded and refinished. Wood is porous and therefore absorbs things such as color/ stains from food and it harbors bacteria in every little groove & scratch left from knives, etc. You could do a small area of butcher block I'd never do my whole kitchen in wood. Better yet, get one of those beautiful oversize butcher blocks that you can leave out on the counter; that way it's not permanently installed in your kitchen but you get a similar look.[/quote]
