No, remove previous counter; being careful to save any framing.
start from scratch!
remove existing first or it will be nasty...ck out YouTube videos.
If you are using solid wood block, you will need to remove the old counters first. If your wood block is just a thin layer, it may be possible to layer it over the old counter.
remove old put in the new
Also, if you don't remove the old counters first, the butcher block put over the old counters will raise the height of your counter tops. Might be way too high.
