Just built my 2nd EGG table, this time it's for my house. I only have one question.....should I stain the butcher block top or simply seal it? The color is beautiful and I don't want to risk changing it. Opinions please!!!! Hope you like.....still have a few touch ups but couldn't wait to show it off.

I've never seen butcher block stained or sealed, but then again, I've never seen them on an outside table.------------------------------------------------------------------------LBGE 2013 - MiniMax 2015 - Seemingly every accessory the fine folks at CGS sell - Fightin' Texas Aggie till I die - Gig 'Em - Located in the bright lights of Dallas

Imho... Doesn't need that many coats. Probably to many mils. I'd do the bottom also. I definitely wouldn't stain it... You'll lose some of the color contrast. I'm not sure how an oil would work. I uses tung oil on my ipe frame but it's not the top. Over the long haul additional coats of poly will be needed and will build up.

I thought most butcher blocks were Maple. How does cedar work for butcher blocks?

That is gorgeous!

@stripedegg - How far away from the house is the egg? I am starting to layout where I want to put mine but with the winds at my house I want it to be close to the house but not too close.Large BGE from Normal, IL

The egg itself is about 5 ft from the house. The backside of the table sits right next to the houseThe Nest Whisperer
