Maple doesn't get nearly as much attention as walnut, but every time I build one of these noodle boards, I'm reminded why it should. The lighter color and subtle grain create a clean, timeless look that works especially well in smaller kitchens by helping the space feel brighter and more open.
Every noodle board we make at Welwyn Woodworking is handcrafted from solid hardwood and built specifically for each customer, because no two kitchens are exactly alike. If you're choosing between walnut and maple, don't overlook maple. It just might surprise you.
