This style is also available in end grain and wide plank, with the most durable being the end grain butcher block countertops. They are also the most expensive. Simultaneously, the wood species like maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, and beech are common choices, all commonly found in your local lumber yard in various thicknesses.
