I would recommend Armani Fine Woodworking for similar projects and products. My customer was very satisfied with the butcher block. It arrived on time and was built to the specifications my customer desired.

Walnut Butcher Block It's not often you make such a large customized purchase on the internet from a location that's nearly 1500 miles away. However, after speaking with Joe on the phone a few times I felt more than comfortable and placed my order. Joe was extremely informative answering my many questions and discussing measurements. I was eager to receive the piece and Joe had it out ahead of schedule. The block we ordered is 38" X 74" X 2" and is absolutely stunning to look at. The wood grain is naturally brought out by the quality work that Joe and his team create in their workshop. It's a centerpiece in the kitchen and every visitor can't help but immediately go up and touch it. The shipping crate is very heavy and protective. It's a necessary evil that makes certain the block is protected during shipping. Depending on the size you will definitely need two people to unpackage and move into position. Design note: most stone counter-tops such as granite and marble are made in 3cm thickness. 3cm is about 1 3/16 inches. If you really want to set off your butcher block counter/island splurge for the 2" or thicker block. The contrasting size makes for an impressive appearance. Thanks for an amazing purchasing experience and product Joe! All the best, Mark S. in NJ

After watching hundreds of "Property Brothers" shows on HGTV, my wife Lynda and I decided to buy a fixer-upper and do our own remodel (we must have been locos!?). We knew we wanted our kitchen to incorporate different textures and materials and had decided that we wanted a butcher block counter top for the kitchen island. We researched and researched and researched and the only places we found in Texas that could deliver a high quality product required us to cash in our 401Ks to be able to do it. We were about to give up, when something amazing happened; we found Joe Armani. And even though Joe's shop was out of State and we were leery at first, we took a leap of faith and decided to go for it (How could such gorgeous product(s) be so reasonably priced? Shipping included! It had to be a scam, we thought....) At first we had Joe help us put together and design a custom Walnut counter top 120 x 26 x 1 1/2 for the island. He was very helpful from the get go and was there to answer all our emails and questions. The product was amazing! Immediately thereafter, we placed a second order for another custom made counter top for our bar. This second project was a little more involved, but Joe was there to help every step of the way. In fact, Joe would not make the cuts on this second piece until I'd gone back and take measurements a first, second, third, fourth and fifth time. By the way, mounting and installing the counter tops was not difficult at all. The second piece was just as stunning as the first piece! Now, our neighbors, want my wife and I to come over their homes and help them re-design their kitchens. We are super happy with the way everything turned out. Just be aware that Joe ships his "masterpieces" in crates and these crates can be very, very heavy. You will need help loading up the crates onto your truck or trailer, unless the delivery is made straight to your home (I learned my lesson after having them delivered to my office). Once the crates are emptied, two adults can easily install the counter tops. Sign us, Very, very happy in Brownsville, Texas. Lynda and Carlos.
