This end-grain chopping block from Michigan Maple Block Co. is perfect for any kitchen:  it's big enough for most chopping and slicing jobs, small enough to stow when not in use, and beautiful enough to use as a presentation piece.  An array of artisanal cheeses, artfully arranged on these gorgeous and solid boards, is the centerpiece of every party we cater.

"End grain" refers to the fact that the wood grain is vertical to the cutting surface.  This makes it less quick to dull your knives, and gives it the signature checkerboard look of traditional butcher block.  Each piece is NSF certified and built to last for decades when cared for properly.  To help ensure that, it comes with instructions and a starter bottle of Emmet's Elixir--the proprietary blend of beeswax and mineral oil that we swear by at Lake Street Market.
