I'm planning to build a new workbench from the Grizzley tops and leg kits. Never thought of looking at Lowes for butcher block though. Now I know what I'm doing for lunch today 
Theres a building material recycling place near here, sometimes they have bowling alley chunks, might be worth looking through the yellows.
Or my father-in-law has a bar in his basement that was made out of an old shuffle board table, its about 4" thick and 12' long, can't imagine what that weighs.

Me, too.
Before buying from Grizzly, check out the reviews of these tops on Amazon. Some people have found the tops to be not level, damaged in shipping, etc.

http://www.globalindustrial.com/ sells butcher block workbench tops, along with all kinds of other stuff you're going to want once you look through their website.

I stopped at Lowes today after work, but they don't sell any. The only way to get a BB top from Lowes is to order one from the kitchen design area. I priced them out with the guy.... $4500!! And they're 1-1/2" kitchen tops, not the 1-3/4" industrial type.

Unfortunately, all the tops so far are not big enough, well some of them are...
I need:
88-1/2" x 33"
103-1/2" x 32"
88-1/2" x 28-1/2"
105-1/2" x 32"
The 100"+ tops are the ones I can't find.
I found this place, but they're not returning my email.

I bought a Seville workbench from Sam's Club a while back for under $200. It came with a thick real maple wood top, 72" x 24". The bench is identical to the Gladiator bench. You could buy one and throw away the base just to get the top so cheap.
