Installing Butcher Block Countertop - Houseful of Handmade

If, on the other hand, the humidity of air is decreased, wood releases accumulated moisture and starts shrinking. Hi Mitchell – Thank you for the heads up… I thought I mentioned that in that in the post, but you’re right, I didn’t. The table top fastener can move around inside the slit to allow for wood movement, while keeping your butcher block countertop nice and secure. All these finishes create an elastic barrier to fully protect the wood from water/oils/stains/anything a kitchen or bath can throw at them and they still look amazing! The oversized holes allow the top to move freely, and the washers keep the screws from falling into the holes.This can be a painful lesson in wood movement because a secured tabletop that shrinks during the dry season can crack in response.
