I have butcher block by Boos as the end of my island. It is 2x3 feet. I do not have it attached so I flip it every season when I oil my soapstone and butcher block. It does get crumbs in the crack so I would recommend keeping it mobile. Plus you really should keep both sides oiled as well. Good luck. Not the best picture but my counters are a mess right now so I used an old one
