End-grain construction exposes the ends of the wood fibers, creating a durable cutting surface with the classic butcher-block look.

The end-grain pattern also gives each board a distinctive appearance, with natural variation from piece to piece.End-Grain Construction
Maple is known for its bright color, clean grain, and traditional butcher-block appearance. Each maple Block board may include subtle tone shifts, small mineral streaks, and natural grain variation. The lighter color and restrained grain make maple a strong choice for customers who want a clean, classic cutting board surface.Maple Hardwood
The Block is offered in set sizes with optional details to suit how you plan to use or gift the board. Available options may include a juice groove, feet, monogramming, logo engraving, petroleum-free butcher block oil, and oil-and-conditioner care kits.
