We cook most of our meals at home. Our kitchen was designed with function in mind first, and that included the butcher block counter top. After a few years of hard use, the finish was ready to be renewed. I highly recommend Osmo Top Oil for wood kitchen counters!
The process was simple. Sand the old finish off. Wipe on three coats of new finish. Done.

After sanding to 220 grit; first coat wiped on |
Counter (and kitchen) back to normal use in around 24 hours.
CORRECTION: Darcie reminded me it was 36 hours, not 24, until everything was back to normal. I apologize for the error.
It does look pretty nice!
