Why Choose Hard Maple?

Hard maple is one of the traditional American hardwoods used for butcher block surfaces. Its dense structure, fine grain, and naturally light color make it an excellent choice for hardworking kitchens.

Unlike walnut, which offers rich chocolate-brown tones, maple provides a brighter, more neutral appearance. It works especially well with painted cabinetry, dark kitchen finishes, contemporary interiors, and traditional kitchen designs.

Maple also offers considerable versatility: its natural color allows the warmth of real wood to complement surrounding stone, tile, metal, and cabinetry without overwhelming the space.

What Is Edge-Grain Maple Butcher Block?

Edge-grain construction joins solid hardwood boards lengthwise to form a strong, continuous surface. The exposed long grain produces a linear wood pattern that is particularly attractive on kitchen counters, islands, and longer worktops.

Compared with end-grain butcher block, edge-grain construction generally offers a more continuous appearance and can be a practical option for large custom countertop projects.

Finishing and Maintaining Maple Countertops

We offer finishing options suited to different uses, from food-contact butcher block surfaces to general-purpose countertops and bar tops.

As with all solid wood countertops, maple should be protected from prolonged standing water and installed with appropriate allowances for seasonal wood movement.

We're happy to discuss finishing and maintenance requirements based on the countertop's intended application.

Shipping & Delivery

Brooklyn Butcher Blocks ships custom butcher block countertops throughout the United States. Because every countertop is made to order, shipping methods and costs depend on the finished dimensions, weight, and destination.

Smaller countertops and wood tops may ship by UPS. Larger countertops are typically shipped using freight or a specialized carrier to provide safer, more practical transport for oversized pieces.

Local or regional delivery may be available for projects in the Hudson Valley, New York City, Northern New Jersey, and surrounding areas. Pickup is available upon request.

Countertops are carefully packaged to protect the finished surface and edges during transportation. If your project requires an unusually large or heavy top, multiple pieces, or special delivery arrangements, contact us before ordering and we'll help determine the appropriate shipping method.

Shipping or delivery charges are calculated separately from the countertop price where applicable.

For custom projects or shipping questions, contact us with your dimensions and ZIP code and we'll be happy to help.
