Giant Maple Butcher Block
I've nicknamed this board "The Behemoth" because if it's size and weight. Serious about your cooking and your kitchen, then this is the last butcher block you'll ever need. Made of solid maple it's the ideal choice for daily kitchen use and abuse. Maple is easily the most durable wood for cutting boards and it's why you'll still find many maple butcher blocks in antique stores today. ConstructionUsing 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.MaterialHard 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.Size21" Long x 14" W
