A butcher block or butcher's block is a heavy duty chopping block, typically laminated of hardwood.
Traditionally made of hard maple, it was commonly used in butcher shops and meat processing plants but has now become popular in home use.[1][2]
The term “butcher block” can also refer to the pattern or style of a traditional block adapted to other functions, such as table tops and cutting boards.[3]
There are two basic styles of butcher block: end grain and edge grain.[1] Besides maple, popular contemporary woods include teak, birch, or walnut, sometimes in alternating patterns.
A simple variant of the function of a chopping block is made out of a several-inch-thick cross section of a wide hardwood log.
