Hi Wendy: I've seen butcher block countertops many times. My island is butcher block and I use it all the time and it's fine. I have no poly on it at all. Of course it's not near the sink though. I think it'll be fine and look fantastic.
You may find yourself having to recoat it if you use polyurethane . I'd consider a marine sealant , just because of the exposure to the water .
I put the marine sealant on a dresser that I converted into a vanity and it holds up great. 1-2 coats, let dry over night, done.
I bought my butcher blocks at Ikea, they come pre-sealed. I never resealed them or anything. A year and half later they look as good as new. I oil them up every other month and that's it.
i love them but was afraid of the water. This answers my question. Thanks.
