Woodn't You Like To Know--My Take on Butcherblock Countertops

Since we remodeled our kitchen almost a year ago, I have had several people ask me about my countertops. Where did I get them? Do I like them? Did I make them? How do I take care of them? Etc.
There are ALOT of differing opinions online about butcher block countertops. Trust me. I researched EVERYTHING before I got them myself. Now that I’ve had them for almost a year now, I’ll share my personal opinion from my own experience.

My husband made our Brazilian cherry counter top about 12 years ago before it was a "thing". I still love them. All it takes to keep them looking beautiful is a little oil. We use regular vegetable oil. It soaks right into the wood.
You can seal this type of wooden counter top but we chose not to do that.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What is the cheapest route for me to have counter tops replaced? Don't have much money to do this job, but need badly!
Would I be able to use an epoxy on it for better protection?
How are they holding up near the stove? I heard it is not a good idea to have b block right against the stove/range.
