8500 miles from home

A person recently reached out to us to help with a little history of their butcher block. Here are two pictures of a block that was made in Petoskey Michigan USA by Michigan Maple Block Co.. The block is still in service in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa. The block was moved to South Africa in the 1980s from Lake Charles Louisiana. It is now 8500 miles, as the crow flies, from its home. This is a well traveled butcher block.

We thank the owner for allowing us to share these pictures.
