We offer an extensive line of butcher blocks. Our collection of previously used butcher block islands is arguably the best in the United States. These butcher blocks make great kitchen islands. Our butcher blocks are genuine, original, historical artifacts. They have been recovered from all over the United States. Each uniquely expresses that early American craftsmanship showcasing double dovetailing and tongue and groove construction (those dovetails go all the way through the block). These unique kitchen islands reflect exacting, old world construction. Each has been cleaned and refinished (or will be) ready for delivery to you. We have a number of different styles and sizes available. Our 20+ inventory includes butcher blocks that are three, four, five or six foot lengths. Most are 2 1/2 feet wide, but we also have some narrow 2 foot widths,  even some 3 foot widths. All have interesting stories behind them. Homeowners who choose to go with a unique antique butcher block, instead of a basic kitchen island, tend to be folks who enjoy the pride that comes with adding a piece of history to your home.

All of our butcher blocks are located at The Hitch House, 3920 North Peachtree Rd. Chamblee, GA 30341. Most are on display in the front room, but three are in a covered show trailer that we exhibit at Scotts Antiques here in Atlanta and the Big Red Barn in Round Top, Texas, so you should call if you want to see all of them.

How to choose your block in four steps. First focus on your space. If you like a specific size, get a refrigerator box, (Home Depot/Lowes, they will give you one), and cut a cardboard template out of it, place it on milk crates of five gallon buckets, and walk around it for two weeks, you’ll know if your block will fit. Second, decide on a block in that size. Third, focus on the finished height of the block you want. Countertop code is 36″, and most of our customers like the traditional height of 32″-34″, but we can raise them with bun feet, even new legs. Fourth, focus on a finish. Fact is, most of the blocks on the site are still unfinished, raw, and we will finish to your specs. We sand your block thrice in 40, 80, and 120 grit, and we can finish it in a myriad of BriWax finishes, but lately and very popular, we finish them in mineral oil, the same way your great grandparents used to use their block.
