17" × 13" × 1.75″ thick. North American hard maple. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Every end-grain maple cutting board we make starts as select North American hard maple, cut on the end and joined block-by-block into a surface knives actually enjoy meeting. Because the grain runs vertical, the blade slips between the wood fibers instead of slicing across them, which can help reduce visible scarring and is gentler on knife edges than face-grain construction.

At 1.75 inches thick and over 10 pounds, it sits still while you work, feels balanced under a chef's knife, and looks the part on a kitchen counter or a Sunday spread. Made in the USA, built to age well, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Whether you call it a maple end grain chopping board, a small butcher block, or simply the board you reach for every day, it is the same construction that lives at professional butchery stations.

Read what customers say in our verified customer reviews.

What Makes This a Hard Maple End Grain Cutting Board

The species is the part most listings leave out. This board is North American hard maple, Acer saccharum, the sugar maple. Soft maple is a different and less dense wood that often gets sold as plain “maple,” so we name ours. Hard maple measures roughly 1,450 lbf on the Janka scale, which lands it in a useful middle ground: hard enough to resist knife marks, soft enough to spare your edge. Its grain is closed and tight, with fewer open pores than oak or ash.

Construction carries the rest. Each block is cut on the end and joined in a double glue-up with food-safe PVA glue, then finished at 17 x 13 x 1.75 inches and over 10 pounds. That mass keeps the board still while you work, and the vertical fibers meet the blade end-on rather than across the grain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an end grain maple cutting board better than edge grain?

For daily prep, yes, end grain is easier on knife edges and hides cut marks because the blade meets the fiber ends rather than crossing them. Edge grain is lighter and usually costs less, so it's a fine choice for light work or a secondary board. If you're chopping most days, end grain is the one that lasts. Here's how they compare side by side:

Feature End Grain Edge Grain
Knife-friendliness Best, blade meets the fiber ends Good
Visible cut marks Hides them Shows them
Weight Heavy (10+ lbs) Lighter (5–7 lbs)
Best for Daily prep, meat, serving Light chopping, secondary board
Typical lifespan 15–30 years with care 8–15 years with care

Full breakdown: end grain vs. edge grain cutting boards.

How thick should a maple cutting board be?

For serious kitchen use, look for at least 1.5 inches thick. Ours is 1.75 inches, thick enough to stay flat over years of use and heavy enough not to slide when you're breaking down a chicken or slicing brisket. Thin boards generally have less mass and may be more sensitive to uneven moisture exposure; construction and care also matter. More on this in our cutting board thickness guide.

How do I clean an end grain maple cutting board?

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry it right away with a towel. Never submerge it, never put it in the dishwasher. Every few weeks, rub in a food-safe conditioner (our Board Balm works, so does mineral oil) to keep the wood from drying out. Step-by-step: how to clean a wooden cutting board.

Why maple over walnut, cherry, or teak?

Hard maple sits in the sweet spot on the Janka hardness scale, hard enough to resist knife marks, soft enough to protect your edge. Walnut is softer and darker (beautiful, but marks faster). Cherry is softer still. Teak has silica that dulls blades over time. Maple is the workhorse pros reach for, which is why it's what we build with.

What do professional kitchens use?

Hard maple end grain for butchery and carving, and color-coded plastic on the line where health codes require a dish machine. The construction we build is the one that lives at the butchery station. More in what professional chefs use for cutting boards.

Is a maple end grain chopping board the same as a cutting board?

Yes. "Chopping board" is the everyday term in the UK, Australia and much of the trade; "cutting board" is the American term. It is the same board either way: 17 x 13 x 1.75 inches of end-grain hard maple with a juice groove and non-slip feet, built for chopping, slicing and carving. If you have been searching for a maple end grain chopping board, this is it.

What does the 5-year warranty cover?

Manufacturing defects, for five years from purchase: a glue joint that opens, or a structural fault in the wood or construction. It does not cover damage from soaking, dishwashers or heat, which no wood board survives. Warranty coverage varies by maker, so compare the written terms before buying.

Built to last

The greenest board is the one you never replace.

North American hard maple, cut end grain and glued up by a wood shop in Oregon. When the surface wears, it gets sanded flat and re-oiled rather than thrown away. Kept that way, a wood board lasts 15 to 30 years.

That lifespan depends on care. Re-oil with mineral oil and beeswax every four to six weeks, and sand the surface flat when it needs it.

Why End-Grain

The surface professional kitchens choose.

In an end-grain board the wood fibers stand upright, like a tight bundle of straws. Your knife settles between them instead of slicing across them, so the surface scars less and your edge survives.

Face-grain and bamboo behave differently under a knife; durability and edge wear depend on species, construction, thickness, and care. Ours is solid North American hard maple, Acer saccharum, a traditional closed-grain choice for cutting boards.

Wood species, not boards

Which wood makes the best cutting board? Eight species, compared

This table compares wood species. The board-to-board comparison, on thickness and warranty, is a separate section on this page.

Cutting board woods are ranked here on two properties: Janka hardness, the force in pounds (lbf) needed to embed a steel ball halfway into the wood, and grain structure, which decides whether a cut surface closes back up or leaves open pores that hold moisture and food residue.

Our own Janka guide sets the useful window plainly: “The ideal range is 900 to 1,500 lbf. Below 900, the wood dents and scars too easily for daily chopping. Above roughly 1,500, the surface starts wearing knife edges faster.”

Every figure in the table below is taken from that article, Wood hardness for cutting boards: the Janka scale explained, published on this site.

Cutting board wood species compared by Janka hardness in pounds-force (lbf), grain structure, and verdict as a cutting surface. Figures from the Bevel & Bond Janka scale guide.
Wood species Janka hardness (lbf) Grain Verdict as a cutting surface
Hard mapleThis boardAcer saccharum 1,450 Closed Best all-around
WalnutJuglans nigra 1,010 Closed Excellent, softer
CherryPrunus serotina 950 Closed Good, lighter duty
TeakTectona grandis 1,070 Closed, oily Good, dulls knives slightly
Red oakQuercus rubra 1,220 Open Poor, too porous
Acacia 1,700+ Wild, interlocked Fair, unstable and hard on knives
Bamboo 1,400–1,600 Fibrous, glue-laden Poor, dulls knives fast
Hinoki cypress ~400–500 Softwood Specialist, dents easily

Harder is not better, and two of these are harder than maple

Two woods in this table are harder than hard maple, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Acacia measures 1,700+ lbf and bamboo 1,400–1,600 lbf, at or above maple’s 1,450 lbf. On a cutting surface that works against you: past roughly 1,500 lbf the board stops yielding and the knife edge yields instead, which is why bamboo has a reputation for dulling blades fast. Acacia adds a second problem on top of hardness, a wild interlocked grain that moves and makes the board unstable.

Softer woods trade the other way. Cherry at 950 lbf and walnut at 1,010 lbf are gentler on an edge than maple is, and they dent and scar sooner under daily chopping. Hinoki cypress, a softwood at roughly 400–500 lbf, is valued in Japanese kitchens for exactly that gentleness, and it dents if you treat it like a chopping block.

Grain is a separate axis, not a footnote. Red oak sits inside the ideal hardness range at 1,220 lbf and is still a poor cutting board, because its open pores hold moisture and food residue. Teak is closed-grained and comfortably in range at 1,070 lbf, and its natural oils and silica still dull knives slightly.

So hard maple’s 1,450 lbf is not the top of the table, and it is not meant to be. It is the point just inside the upper limit of the ideal range where the surface is hard enough to resist denting and scarring, closed enough not to trap moisture, and still soft enough to let a blade settle in rather than skate off it. That is the whole case for maple. It is a trade-off, not a clean sweep.

Where this board sits: the Bevel & Bond board on this page is North American hard maple, Acer saccharum, 1,450 lbf, closed grain, built in end-grain construction at 1.75″ thick. $119.99.

Janka values, grain descriptions and verdicts on this page are taken from our own guide, Wood hardness for cutting boards: the Janka scale explained.

Before You Buy

Why this board, and why it costs what it costs.

The honest answers to what people ask us most before ordering.

A Bevel and Bond end-grain hard maple cutting board in use on a dark kitchen counter with fresh herbs, a halved lemon and a chef's knife.
Why buy this instead of a 30 dollar board?

A cheap board is a consumable. It scars, absorbs water, warps, and quietly ruins your knife edges, then you replace it in a year or two. This one is 1.75″ of solid end-grain hard maple, over 10 lbs, hand-finished and backed for five years. You buy it once.

Why end-grain instead of edge-grain or bamboo?

In end-grain the wood fibers stand upright, so your knife meets the fiber ends rather than crossing them. Edge-grain boards get sliced across the fiber, so they scar and stay scarred. Bamboo can be harder than many common cutting-board woods, so knife wear varies by board construction and use.

Does 1.75″ really matter, or is 1.5″ fine?

It matters twice. Mass keeps the board still while you work. And thickness resists the cupping that thin boards develop as they take on and give off moisture. At over 10 lbs this one stays put and stays flat.

Why hard maple and not walnut, teak or acacia?

Hard maple sits in the sweet spot: dense enough to resist scarring, soft enough to spare your edge, tight-grained so it does not harbor moisture. Teak contains silica that dulls blades. Acacia varies by species and construction; compare the stated material, build, and care requirements.

Is it worth it if I only cook a few times a week?

Yes, for a different reason. Occasional cooks keep a board far longer, so warping and staining are what retire it, not wear. A board that stays flat and refinishes with a rub of oil still looks good in ten years.

What makes the 5-year warranty meaningful?

It provides defined manufacturing-defect coverage for five years. If a manufacturing defect shows up within five years we repair or replace it, no runaround. We can promise that because each board is produced to our specifications in the USA.

Will it actually protect my knives?

Yes, and people underestimate this. Every cut on a hard surface rolls the edge of your blade a little. End-grain maple lets the edge pass between fibers instead of hammering across them, so you sharpen less often.

What if I get it and do not love it?

Send it back within 30 days. Beyond that the five-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Good buy

Works really well! Love that it is food safe material. Keeps our wood cutting boards (trying to go to all wood) nice and taken care of. We still use dish soap on our wooden cutting boards which can dry them out. Helps keep that durable and still ready to use. A little goes a long way so although the tin is smaller, it lasted a good while. For the money, great value. Would buy again.

Works Great

This tin is heavy duty, sturdy, diurable, and easy to open. You simply take a brush or paper towel, take ab it out and rub it on your board. Easy to do and makes the board shine, as well as protects it. Every wood cutting board owner should have some.

Great cutting board wax

I love my cutting boards and they are work horses at my house. To ensure that my boards last as long as possible I have always applied mineral oil. I saw this product and thought I would give it a try. It states that it is food safe which is important since I will be using on a surface where I cut food. The wax is in a metal tin in a solid form. Following instructions I was able to treat my board using this product easily. I really loved how much my cutting board seemed to improve with one use. I think that this product will help extend the life of my cutting board more than just the mineral oil will. I look forward to the continued use and would recommend this to others seeking to keep their working surfaces happy.

Easier and lasts longer than mineral oil

I used it to recondition a fairly beat up cutting board. Normally I use food grade mineral oil, but it seems like I have to recondition it frequently. With this stuff, the finish lasts longer, really helps keep liquids from soaking in and it looks better. It also makes the surface a little smoother to the touch.

Long lasting moisturizer for wooden cutting boards!

We've switched to only using wooden cutting boards at home, and my husband has a LARGE butcher block he uses everyday, so we're doing our best to keep it well maintained. We used mineral oil initially, but it dried out quickly. We also tried coconut oil, but that was very messy.That's when we tried this cutting board wax, and we're fans! The blend of beeswax and mineral oil keep the cutting boards conditioned for days, and has made it so we have to moisturize them less frequently. The boards actually look beautiful after an application, and we don't have any concerns cutting on them after moisturizing since it's food grade.The wax goes on smoothly, and doesn't leave any sort of smell on the cutting boards. We used a paper towel to apply, but you could use a kitchen rag and it would probably make less garbage.The only downside we've found to this wax is that you do have to buff for a bit to remove excess wax from the surface, and it is a small tin, so if you're treating large cutting boards you will go through this product quickly.Overall we were very impressed and will be purchasing again!

Easy to Apply & Made a Noticeable Difference

I’m really impressed with this product! It was incredibly easy to apply. The texture spreads smoothly and absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy or sticky residue behind. I also love that it’s made with all natural ingredients, which is important to me when using something on surfaces that come into contact with food.I used it on a well-worn wooden cutting board that was starting to look dry and dull, and the difference was noticeable almost immediately. The wood looks richer, more hydrated, and refreshed overall. It brought out the natural grain beautifully and made the board look close to new again.A little goes a long way, and the results speak for themselves. you can see the before and after in my photos. I’ll definitely continue using this to maintain my wooden cutting board. Highly recommend if you want an easy, natural way to keep them nice!

Every kitchen needs this

Though Im not an expert and this is the first cutting board wax Ive ever used, it seems to do the trick. Absolutely no scent that might transfer to food. A little goes a long way, this will last you a very long time. Very easy to apply with a dry cloth. Pictured you can see the treated section (circle in the middle) vs the raw wood.

Wax has comparable performance to our usual butcher block oil, but lacks safety certification

My husband, the chef in our house, owns and uses several heavy wooden cutting boards. I sometimes wonder why he doesn't just use our other wood-fiber composite cutting boards that are easier to take care of (since wood needs periodic treatment, so they don't dry out). Not my job, not my decision, I guess. Therefore, he uses expensive butcher block oil (



like this, see photo) each year with his wood cutting boards. I asked him to compare this board balm product to his usual butcher block oil, so he treated one side of a board with each.The good news is this board balm product seemed to do the same quality job as his usual oil. Both clearly soaked in and were absorbed after treatment, so that bodes well for keeping the wood preserved. We couldn't distinguish any differences between the two sides between this new board balm and the butcher block oil he's normally used for the past 5 years.However, at this short time we also cannot see, nor compare, their long-term protection against drying out. It's also difficult for me to compare the value and price point because this product is a wax whereas our usual one is an oil (how many board applications can be done?). Our usual product is made in the USA and NSF safety certified, which gives us confidence given it is used with something that touches the food we eat and cook with. This product looks professionally packaged and advertises that it is safe for food applications, but it is made in China and has no similar third-party verification. For these reasons I deducted 1 star from my review.

Great conditioner for maintaining wooden cutting boards

My husband is a chef, so we have a lot of wooden cutting boards that get heavy use. I got this wax to help maintain them, and it works really well. The boards absorbed it nicely and immediately looked refreshed without feeling greasy.I like that it’s food safe and easy to apply, and a little goes a long way. It’s been great for keeping our cutting boards in good shape and protecting the wood from drying out. Definitely a must-have if you cook often or use wooden boards regularly.

Big upgrade for my cutting boards! Easy to use and worth the cost

I have to start by letting you know that I’ve never really given my cutting boards the care they deserve... I’ve always just used cutting boards, washed them, and called it good. This was my first time using a proper board wax/conditioner and the difference honestly surprised me.Application was as simple as applying a layer of wax to a board and letting it sit :) I followed the instructions and worked it into my largest, most used board, even though it’s made up of lots of small wood squares with grain going every direction (instructions say to apply in the direction of the grain). It still absorbed well and spread easily. I let it sit overnight like recommended and wiped it down thoroughly the next morning.The before and after difference was pretty dramatic. The wood color deepened, the surface looks healthier, and it even feels better to the touch now! It's much smoother and more conditioned instead of that dry, splintery wood feel. It genuinely made an inexpensive board look and feel like a higher-quality one.It doesn’t leave a weird residue and doesn’t feel greasy after the final wipe down. Just a nice, protected finish. For around ten bucks, this is an easy upgrade to any wooden cutting board or butcher block.I’ll be sticking to the suggested monthly treatment going forward. Definitely recommended if your boards are looking even a little tired. Easily worth the price of admission.For reference, the pictures with the product on top of the board are before applying the product, horizontal photos without the product are both sides immediately after a layer was applied, and the vertical picture is the next morning after wipe down (I apologize, I'm bad a photo editing to add this information directly on the photos :)

Simple mineral oil paste works well

I have a kauri cutting board from New Zealand that hasn't been well cared for. It's the middle of winter and very dry here so I can see it checking on the end grain.I applied some of this paste wax all over and it seemed to go on pretty well. I didn't need to use too much and spent some time working it in.I'm letting it sit overnight and will clean and buff it tomorrow.It seems to work well and my only observation is that it doesn't smell like beeswax at all, I thought it usually has some honey aroma. I guess it's a good thing that it has no odor but made me wonder how to verify the claimed ingredients.In any case, it has clearly helped fix my cutting board so I'm pleased with the wax.

Breathe’s new life into old cutting boards

We all know cutting boards can be quite expensive, so it makes sense to do everything we can to make them last for as long as possible. This food safe, beeswax and mineral oil cutting board wax checks all the boxes!To start with, 6 ounces might not seem like a lot, but let me tell you, this can is going to last you for a long time.The instructions are on the bottom so you don’t have to hang onto the box, which is very nice.The wax itself has kind of like a dry oil feel to it, goes on, very smooth, like any rubbing wax, and buff off to a nice shine once it’s been completely absorbed, and a little goes a long way.There was no noticeable odor to it prior to, during, or after application.Once applied, the deep wood tones of my bamboo cutting board came out, and you can definitely tell a difference between the dry and thirsty before, and the waxed and happy after. It didn’t make any cut marks go away, but it certainly brought my cutting board back to life.Overall, I’m really pleased with it. At just under $10 I think this is a steal! I highly recommend you getting it and plan on making this a permanent part of my kitchen!
