![]() | Fine product at reasonable price by: Pat Lambert ✔Verified Buyer from: St. Petersburg, FL on: June 3, 2016 |
This commercial grade maple top is well-made and attractive. It DID arrive with a small gouge in one side, the "finished" side. So, the solid top had to be reversed, with its bottom side becoming the top. We routed the top edges to soften them, sanded the top and applied two coats of boiled linseed oil (sanding between coats) as directed by a utube site. The result is excellent and we are pleased with the product, which we anticipate will provide years of service and is very handsome. |

![]() | A terrific value by: Amy ✔Verified Buyer from: Rochester, NY on: April 26, 2016 |
Terrific value and excellent quality for the cost. Keep in mind this is "commercial grade" and does have some dark spots that look like imperfections (we don't care), the surface is smooth and finished. |

![]() | Can I buy a top with no finish applied to it? I would be finishing myself. - Asked about product JB-SCT015-O | |
![]() | You can purchase the John Boos tops unfinished, however, it voids out the warranty. It would be the same price as the oil and you can write "unfinished" in the comment section, or call our customer service department at 1-800-667-8721 to place an order. Keep in mind that most stains for wood are not food safe, so if you are not going to prepare food directly on the wood surface, you could stain your counter yourself. |

![]() | What is the difference between JB-KCTBL04-O and JB-SCT001-V? I am looking for an island top as my baking station. Any recommendations for the top and the finish? Are both finishes NSF food safe? Thank you. - Asked about product JB-SCT001-O | |
![]() | The KCTBL04-O is the "Kitchen Counter Top (KCT)" residential grade top. The SCT top is a commercial grade top, so it can have some imperfections on it, such as glue, dings, and tool marks. The residential top is just made to look more aesthetically pleasing. As long as you get the oil finish in the KCT or the SCT top style, they are NSF certified. The varnique finish voids out the NSF. |
