Anybody familiar with Butcher Block Countertops?

I lucked out here.

• Scrap from the 1-1/2" thick butcher block shelf was just tall enough to get the router butt high enough to clear the 2nd step in the sink flange.
• With the router all the way down on the setting and with the 1" milling bit I already had it removed just enough material.
• I finished off the very rear with a chisel, it took only 30 seconds.

I accidentally made a few divots when one side of the butt fell "off the ledge" but I eventually figured out you can turn it to a 45° angle.

Overall, it's "good enough for rock and roll", I'm just mad at myself for not figuring this out earlier as it would have been very easy to mill out before the sink was installed.

I can't wait to have running water, it's been over a year!

The next challenge will be the 45º cut on the other countertop.

It came out pretty much perfect! The next and last challenge of the entire remodel will be the 45º miter on the other cabinet.

I have not been able to find a 7-1/4" blade with a 1/8" kerf except for this one. It isn't very fine and it's made for heavy-duty demo so I'm not sure it's good for a clean, straight line on a butcherblock countertop:
