The Butchers Block – 6ft By 2ft (180x60cm) is a premium chopping and preparation block built from solid Black Locust hardwood, imported from Italy. Unlike lower-quality blocks, this block uses all-wood construction with no internal steel reinforcing rods, giving a genuinely solid, long-wearing work surface that can be re-surfaced over its working life rather than replaced. At 180cm x 60cm, it's sized for serious daily butchery work — breaking down carcasses, portioning primals, and heavy-duty prep. An optional stainless-steel stand is available for an ergonomic, hygienic working height.
