View Full Version : restoration of a butcher block


10-09-01, 02:19 PM
I would like to restore a butcher block table that was left out in the rain by the builders. I do not believe there is any way to bring the boards back together (the boards are now warped). I would like to find a non-toxic filler(?) and then sand it smooth. I also do not know what I should use as a sealer- what kind of oil? (mineral).

I know the table will be far from perfect but I just want it to be functional enough to knead and roll bread/pastries.

I thank you for your response,
