[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, Love the idea of the butcher block for your kitchen. We have it in ours and get compliments - it really warms up the space and I think in this area everyone has granite that kind of looks the same after a while. I myself hate granite but always feel alone. :) My husband puts butcher block oil on it once a month, but I think you could do it less. We have lived here for 5 years and there are no noticeable stains. I think stains may be less of an issue than you would think, since the wood over time darkens a bit and wood has many different tones in it, in any case. We don't chop things on it (use a cutting board) so bacteria isn't really an issue. But I have heard that too, what the PP mentions, that wood is actually healthier than plastic in terms of bacteria.
