End Grain Maple Cutting Board / Butcher Block

This end grain cutting board is made entirely of hard maple. Easily the most durable wood that can be used for a cutting board, hard maple is the ideal choice for daily kitchen use and abuse. Construction Using the face or edge grain is how most cutting boards are made. End grain construction rotates the wood so you are cutting into the grain from the ends of the timber. This  process is more difficult and takes more time, but the results are fantastic. Structurally stronger and better looking, the increased price is well worth the investment. Material Hard maple grows commonly in North America. When in tree form it's known as sugar maple, the tree where maple syrup comes from. Hard maple is also known for its use in basketball courts and bowling lanes because of its durability. Size This cutting board is available in 4 different sizes: 16x12| 18x12.5 | 20x14 | 24x18 Each edge of the board is finished with 45-degree chamfered edges and grooved handles on either side for easy lifting.
