If you have decided to cut your costs by building your own table then you need to decide first on what kind of use will the table be assigned to do. If you main use is going to be for food and food preparation, there are a couple woods you should definitely stay away from. Oak and spalted maple are two woods you should stay away from if the butcher block table is being used for food. Woods that are really good for food preparation are walnut, ash, beech and hard maple are great woods for this type of table.

After you have chosen the wood that you want to use, you can then go and get an unfinished pre-made butcher block table or you can actually make your own. It is important that the thickness is at least one and a half inches thick if not more. The thicker it is the better it will hold up against a lot of use. If you have no woodworking experience at all it would probably be wise if you did buy the unfinished pre-made butcher block table top.

Deciding which new set of kitchen cutlery to purchase can be a difficult decision because of two reasons. One, unless you purchase a Ginsu knife set, it is a significant investment. Second, there are a lot of options to choose from and, of course, each brand claims to be the best. JA Henckel is a brand name that has gained itself a great reputation and is considered to be, within many circles, one of the top kitchen knife sets on the market today. But does a JA Henckels knife block set live up to its reputation?

The first thing to consider here is price. Henckel cutlery is not cheap. No quality kitchen cutlery is. So what are you paying more for when you purchase a Henckels knife block set?

1. Over 275 years of manufacturing knives. Experience counts for a lot here. This company has been at the forefront of knife manufacturing for centuries and has done a very good job of adapting to change and incorporating new materials and technology into their manufacturing process.

2. Ergonomic design. Many think that the blade of the knife is the most important part of it. It is very important, but an argument can be made that the handle is even more important. Every knife in a Henckels knife block set contains an ergonomically designed handle which ensures that the knife will be well balanced, easy to grip and comfortable in the hand. A knife that is hard to hold is frustrating and potentially dangerous.
