Its dense structure, fine grain, and naturally light color make it an excellent choice for hardworking kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaple 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Edge-Grain Maple Butcher Block?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdge-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinishing and Maintaining Maple Countertops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer finishing options suited to different uses, from food-contact butcher block surfaces to general-purpose countertops and bar tops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all solid wood countertops, maple should be protected from prolonged standing water and installed with appropriate allowances for seasonal wood movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe're happy to discuss finishing and maintenance requirements based on the countertop's intended application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMade by Brooklyn Butcher Blocks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Brooklyn in 2010, Brooklyn Butcher Blocks manufactures custom hardwood countertops, butcher block surfaces, and kitchen accessories from our workshop in Kingston, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur work has been featured in The New York Times, Serious Eats, Bon Appétit, Esquire, GQ, and other publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe work with homeowners, architects, kitchen and bath designers, cabinetmakers, contractors, and commercial clients throughout New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Northern New Jersey, with nationwide shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApproved professional accounts are eligible for our 20% trade pricing program.

Brooklyn Butcher Blocks manufactures custom maple countertops in project-specific lengths, widths, and thicknesses. Enter your measurements in our online calculator, or contact us about an unusual configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs hard maple good for butcher block countertops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Hard maple is a dense, fine-grained hardwood traditionally used for butcher block. It is a practical and attractive choice for kitchen countertops, islands, and other solid wood work surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between maple and walnut countertops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple generally has a lighter, cream-colored appearance and is harder than American black walnut. Walnut offers deeper brown tones and more pronounced color variation. Both can be used to create attractive custom hardwood countertops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you make a large maple kitchen island countertop?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
