This vintage butchers block can be used as a functional work surface in your kitchen or as a unique display piece. When using it as a work surface, you can chop vegetables, prepare meat, etc. Just make sure to use a cutting board to avoid scratching the surface. For maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a damp cloth. Keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent the wood from warping or cracking. If the surface gets dry over time, you can apply a food - safe wood oil to keep it in good condition.
