Maple End Grain Cutting Board – Handmade Butcher Block Style Chopping Board

This cutting board is handcrafted in the UK from American Maple using traditional end grain construction. Each board is made individually, with every piece of hardwood hand selected to ensure strength, stability, and consistency.

As maple is a natural material, each board features unique variations in colour and grain, no two boards are ever exactly alike.

Why American Maple:
Maple is a dense, fine-grained hardwood known for its strength, stability, and smooth texture. Its light, creamy colour with subtle grain patterns gives it a clean, modern look that complements any kitchen style. Maple’s hardness and tight grain structure make it highly resistant to surface marking, making it a reliable choice for cutting boards designed for regular use.

End Grain Construction:
End-grain boards are built with the wood fibres oriented vertically. When you cut, the fibres part slightly under the blade and then close back up, reducing wear on both the knife edge and the board’s surface.

Finish:
The board is finished with multiple coats of pure tung oil, followed by a beeswax top coat. This combination nourishes the wood, protects against moisture, and creates a smooth, food-safe surface that enhances the natural colour and grain of the maple

Optional Juice Groove:
Juice grooves can be added if requested. These are routed into the top face of the board and are designed to catch liquids during food prep. 

Ideal Use:
Daily chopping and food prep
Vegetables, meats, herbs and bread
Designed for heavy kitchen use, not decorative only.

Care: 
To maintain the board’s appearance and longevity, re-oil periodically using a food-safe oil when the surface appears dry. Regular oiling helps prevent drying, cracking, and staining. Detailed care instructions are included with every board.
