This 20×24 maple wood cutting board is great for larger tasks in your kitchen and professional restaurants alike. The 2” thickness of each of our various maple, cherry, and walnut wood butcher blocks and cutting boards makes for both functionality and visual brilliance while the durability of maple specifically means that your board is sure to withstand daily use and potential fall or water damage without warping, cracking, or chipping at all.
Maple is a very bright and clean wood that has tremendous strength as a cutting board. It will remain stable and not tint with use. Maple is best known for its swirling patterns, warm tones, and versatility. This impeccable material can be used for all kinds of projects but is most commonly seen in the form of guitar bodies, gun stocks, hardwood flooring, kitchen cabinets, countertops, construction, and other woodworking projects such as bowls or, of course, cutting boards and blocks.
One of the main features that makes maple wood so highly sought after in countless industries is its strength and shock absorbency. On the Janka hardness scale, maple has a rating of 1,450, making it one of the hardest domestic woods on the market. This easily extends the lifespan of your cutting board far surpassing cheaper wood and plastic cutting boards found online and in retail stores. Maple wood also self heals which is particularly valuable when it comes to cutting boards as it increases food safety likewise.
With subpar cutting boards, deep grooves in the board can trap food particles and contaminate future meals prepared on them. According to The Abstract, “Plastic cutting boards, Cliver found, are easier to sanitize. But cutting on them also leaves lots of grooves where bacteria can hide. Wood is tougher to sanitize, but it’s also (often) tougher in general – you won’t find as many deep scratches in the surface.” This is why having a high-quality wood cutting board not only increases the lifespan of your investment but the safety of your kitchen prep as well.
Maple is also highly sustainable as it can be grown, harvested, and used for multiple projects with ease. This low cost production process as well as maple wood’s versatility makes it a great choice for cutting boards and other wood items since it can be used to replace less sustainable woods, can be shaped into nearly anything easily, and is eco-friendly likewise.
All dimensions are approximate sizes. It is best to work with the natural characteristics of the wood first and the dimensions second.

I ordered a custom cutting board as an anniversary gift for my partner. The final product was absolutely beautiful. I’ve never seen a cutting board made with such quality and care. They were willing to work within my budget. I’d recommend this anyone looking for a special, signature piece that will last them a lifetime.

Absolutely fantastic job with a cutting board I had made for my boyfriend as a surprise present. It was a difficult project requiring precision as it had to fit into a very specific pull-out slot in a 1950s home.
They very flexible and responsive throughout the entire project. He took each of my requests to heart – even when I requested we cut the board down a little to ensure it was a perfect fit. I couldn’t have been happier with the end result. My boyfriend absolutely loved it and it fit perfectly with the design of his home.
I strongly recommend selecting Mahogany House Woodworks for your next custom wood project – you won’t regret it! Promise!

Ordered two custom boards this year as Christmas presents. They are beautiful! Solid and of the highest quality. They will be treasured for years to come (hopefully!). Thank you for the great service and attention to detail.

What a great experience. I found beautiful wood cutting boards on MHW web site and went to order two of them. The shipping was way off so I called them. The owner James called me back and immediately corrected the problem, took my order over the phone and went to work making my awesome cutting boards. He is a small operation doing big things. It is so nice to do business with a mom and pop shop who go the extra mile for their customers. Big box stores cannot compete with James quality, price and service. Not to mention I have never seen anything as beautiful as what MHW creates.
