In Response To: antique butcher block (Carol Tappe)

Hi Carol. so many things affect value that it's hard to give you an idea of what it's worth. Most good blocks are indeed hard maple end grain up. My guess is that a block like yours weighs about 3-400lbs. I would price a comparable new block and use that as a guide taking into consideration age, condition, quality of construction, etc....this company sells some serious Blocks, although pricing does not seem to be on the website...http://www.mapleblock.com/detail/monarch-meat-block-16/ A phone call will probably give you pricing guidelines....sorry I can't help more...but these are an odd commodity when they come up for sale, sometimes prized as a furnishing for a home, sometimes put into service as a tool.....pricing is all over the place, perhaps a call to a local restaraunt supply house might also be useful?
