Butcher Block Stand for 3" Boards

Made for 3" end grain butcher blocks, including every board in my Pros & Pitmasters collection. A 3" end grain block is a serious piece of wood, the kind that lives on the counter and does the heavy work on brisket night. My biggest stand is built to match. The slot is cut 3¼" wide for a full 3" block, and the longer cross piece spreads the uprights wide, so a large, heavy block stands up tall and steady. Standing a thick block upright does more than show it off. End grain drinks in water, and a block left lying flat dries unevenly. On the stand, air reaches both faces, so it dries evenly and stays flat between uses.
