We’re planning a kitchen renovation and looking to cut some costs on counters and use some locally sourced materials. Any suggestions on where to find stone remnants, reused butcher blocker, etc. locally?

I don't know where you are, but apparently they're tearing down the bowling alley in Bennington. That lane wood is usually super high-quality rock maple, and you might able to get some as salvage. (There are probably other sources, too, of course, so look around!)
I only know about this because a friend of mine used salvaged wood from a bowling alley when he built his house, and it's held up over the years far better than my expensive custom butcher block!
