Notes on interior decorating with wood countertops:
This traditional kitchen was designed by Donna Venegas, a well-respected kitchen designer. The making of this butcher block countertop was filmed for an episode of This Old House, the edge profile alone takes 13 passes with a hand router and can be completed only by the most skilled woodworker. This countertop was the feature of the kitchen in the Newton remodel completed by This Old House. For more information on the project visit Newton Project by This Old House
