A. Edge grain is made with 1.75 wide strips that are as long as the butcher block glued together with the quarter sawn face or edge grain up. End grain is made up of many little squares of wood with the ends (where you would see the rings) up. The edge grain is the most stable glue up available for a sturdy long lasting top. The end grain is not very stable so it has size limitations and thickness requirements but it is great for cutting on.
