Spalted Maple End Grain Butcher Block Island Top
Solid end grain specialty spalted maple chopping island, built to custom order. Island top pictured measures 60" by 36" by 2" and is an example only. Further island top examples in end grain spalted maple are listed here: From the hardwood capital of the world, treat yourself to the warmth and elegance of genuine wood counter tops, which are now becoming more and more popular for good reason. Any kind of hardwood and any grain construction is possible, although end grain is by far superior when it comes to an actual cutting surface. Non-scarring and self-healing butcher block tops are both beautiful and exceptionally functional, and one of the most amazing and rewarding investments that can be made for any kitchen. Edge and face grain surfaces may be significantly less expensive than the island pictured above, as they are less labor-intensive than end grain. Please don't hesitate to start a conversation to discuss what options may be best for you. Any specific size or shape, as well as any kind of finish is possible. Price is largely reflective of wood species, size and construction method desired. Personal installation is also available locally, as are precise instructions for non-local installation. **I will beat any of the mass manufacturer's prices (within reason) and give you something of superior quality with the personal attention to detail and hand-craftsmanship you deserve.**

Jan 10, 2017I gave this custom cutting board to my mother-in-law for Xmas. She really loved it - so much so that she wants to use it as an art piece and not use it for chopping veggies. Matt was very responsive and easy to work with. I really liked the range of work examples he has on his profile. I chose the type of wood I liked best, the size and the final product was just beautiful. I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone else who is looking for something special.
