3″ Thick Maple End Grain Countertop, 24″x25″

Maple Butcher Block Counter & Island Tops In Classic End Grain Style Rock maple is the most popular species of North American hardwood used in making butcher block countertops. Its fine grain pattern and neutral color palette make it suitable for virtually any kitchen decor. Plus maple tends to be least expensive among the hardwood. If you like naturally beautiful maple (and who doesn’t?), but you’re after a distinctive look, then end-grain maple butcher block might be just the ticket. In the making of an end-grain butcher’s board, short pieces of wood standing on their ends and arranged in a grid-like pattern are bonded together under high pressure and heat. The result is a block that resembles a natural checkerboard, as gorgeous as it is strong and durable. End-Grain Butcher Block Has Advantages Other Than Its Great Looks Since the surface of an end grain board is comprised of the fibrous ends of short wood strips (hence the name, end grain), it’s resilient yet forgiving. Knife blades essentially slide between wood fibers as the board absorbs the blow of the knife. That’s what makes end-grain boards perfect for heavy-duty slicing and chopping. Plus they help keep knives from dulling, leaving them sharper longer.
