Maple is our strongest and most durable hardwood in a clean, creamy blonde that brings a bright, airy feel to any kitchen. Where Walnut is bold and Cherry is warm, Maple is fresh. It's the board that makes any countertop feel cleaner, more intentional. Our Maple end-grain board is handmade from start to finish, with an exceptionally tight, uniform grain that's as satisfying to work on as it looks. Over time, Maple develops a gentle golden warmth — slowly deepening from pale cream toward honey, building character with every meal without ever losing its clean, timeless appeal. This isn't just a cutting board — it's a 3-4 day labor of craftsmanship. We start with hand-selected premium North American Maple, chosen for its exceptional density, striking grain pattern, and natural richness. From there, it's precision cutting, careful assembly, patient sanding, and a hand-applied food-safe finish. Simply choose your size, decide if you'd like a juice groove, and we'll head to the workshop to make it happen. Please note: The Minimus doesn't offer a juice groove to keep the full surface available for cutting. Product Highlights: Handmade from start to finish using carefully selected, sustainably sourced Hard Maple. End-grain construction for exceptional durability, gentle on knives, and minimal knife marks. Clean, classic tone that becomes warmer and richer over time. Juice groove (optional) & non-slip rubber pegs for stability and clean, safe prep. (For an optimal working surface, The Minimus doesn't include a juice groove) Finished with food-grade mineral oil & beeswax to keep the wood hydrated, smooth, and protected.
