Custom Calico Hickory Butcher Block Countertop

Handcrafted in Colorado from sustainably sourced American Hickory, our custom edge grain butcher block countertops offer dramatic natural color variation with exceptional strength and durability. Each countertop is built to order by our artisan woodworkers and customized to your exact specifications for kitchens, islands, bar tops, workspaces, bathroom vanities, and more.

American Hickory is one of the hardest and most durable domestic hardwoods, known for its striking contrast between light sapwood and darker heartwood. Calico hickory highlights that natural range, creating a bold, active appearance with strong grain movement and substantial character from board to board.

Our edge grain construction uses full-length boards turned vertically to showcase the natural grain while maximizing strength and stability. This construction style provides a clean, linear aesthetic and excellent resistance to warping and wear, making it ideal for kitchens, islands, workspaces, and everyday use.

Every countertop is made to order and available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, edge profiles, and finish options. Choose from food-safe finishes including mineral oil and beeswax, tung oil, Rubio Monocoat, or our durable Impermio film finish for enhanced moisture and stain resistance.

Rubio Monocoat is available in a range of colors, which can be reviewed on the Rubio Monocoat color guide. Some Rubio color selections may require additional charges depending on the color, application requirements, or project specifications.

This custom calico hickory butcher block countertop is built to your selected dimensions, finish, and edge profile.

Enter your countertop dimensions in whole inches, then use the “Plus” fields to add any fractional inch measurement. Width or depth is measured across the grain, while length is measured in the direction of the wood grain. For more help, see our sizing guidelines.

Each countertop is made to order based on the dimensions, thickness, edge profile, finish, and project details you select. If your project requires unusual sizing, special cutouts, matching pieces, or a custom edge profile, include those notes when ordering or contact us before placing your order.

For the most accurate fit, we recommend confirming your final measurements after cabinets, supports, or appliances are installed. Custom wood countertops are built to the dimensions provided, so careful measuring is important. To understand the full process from order to delivery, visit our From Design to Delivery page.

Most custom butcher block countertops with a mineral oil finish are ready to ship in approximately 1–2 weeks. Lead times may vary based on order size, wood availability, production schedule, and project complexity.

Finish selection can affect production time. Rubio Monocoat typically adds about 3 days. Pure tung oil and Impermio Film Finish typically add about 5–7 days because they require additional curing and handling time before the countertop can be packaged safely.

Larger countertops, multiple-piece orders, custom edge profiles, cutouts, or special project notes may also extend lead time. We will contact you if your order requires clarification before production.

Countertops are carefully packaged for shipment after finishing and final inspection. Shipping time depends on destination, size, weight, and carrier requirements. Before delivery, please review our shipping and receiving guidelines so you know what to expect when your countertop arrives.

Allow your countertop time to acclimate to its installation environment before securing it in place. Store it flat, fully supported, and away from direct heat, moisture, or extreme humidity changes.

Countertops should not be left uninstalled for more than two weeks. Solid wood responds to changes in temperature and humidity, and extended storage without proper installation can increase the risk of movement.

For complete guidance, review our installation and care instructions before your countertop arrives.

Calico hickory includes strong natural variation in color, grain, and figure. Light sapwood, darker heartwood, mineral streaks, knots, and other character marks may be present and are expected features of this wood selection. Natural aging and exposure to light will also affect the appearance of hickory over time.
