$225.00

Elevate your culinary workspace with this One-of-One Maple End Grain Cutting Board by From Tree to Table®. Precision-crafted from premium solid hard maple, this heirloom-grade butcher block board showcases the organic beauty, tight growth rings, and warm tone variations unique to individual end-grain timbers.

Built for Culinary Precision & Knife Care

End-grain construction is the premier choice of professional chefs and serious home cooks. By orienting the wood fibers vertically, knife blades cut naturally between the fibers rather than severing them. This self-healing surface drastically reduces visible score marks while keeping fine knife edges sharper for longer.

Heavyweight Stability Meets Functional Design

Measuring an expansive 21" x 16" with a 2" commercial thickness, this butcher block offers substantial countertop stability under heavy chopping, carving, and prep tasks.

  • Deep Perimeter Juice Groove: Efficiently catches meat drippings, carving runoff, and fruit juices to keep countertops clean.

  • Integrated Undermount Handles: Recessed hand grips carved into the sides ensure a secure, effortless lift when serving or cleaning.

  • Conversion Varnish Finish: Provides enhanced surface durability and moisture resistance.

Because each piece is an authentic One-of-One build, the board pictured is the exact one-of-a-kind piece you will receive.

About the wood

Hard Maple

Acer saccharum

The king of the maple genus: stronger, stiffer, harder and denser than every other commercial maple, and the wood under bowling lanes and basketball courts. The tree tapped for maple syrup.

Working & finishing

Fairly easy to work but harder than soft maple because of its density; it burns under high-speed cutters, so keep bits sharp and moving and take two shallow passes rather than one deep one. Turns, glues and finishes well; pre-drill for screws. It blotches under stain and needs a pre-conditioner, gel stain or toner for even color, so OCC finishes it clear with oil or hardwax.

Care

Indoor use only; rated non-durable to perishable and susceptible to insects. Wipe spills promptly and keep the pale surface out of standing water. Expect more seasonal width movement than the other maples; a base that allows movement matters.
