The recessed ones. One hole in each piece with a groove between and a
bolt through to pull them together.

OK. I'd have to cut the hard maple myself to do this. They only
supply the raw block. The supplier recommended I drill holes where
needed and connect the two pieces of counter with dowels and wood
glue. That sounds easier if I can be careful enough to drill holes
that allow the pieces to come together evenly.

Dan, is there any chance you can find a local woodworker friend to help you
with this? It's not difficult, if you've done it before, and have a few of
the right tools. However, you can screw up some expensive maple, and maybe
draw a little blood, if you don't take the right precautions.

I'm not at all certain that dowels are the route that I'd take. Clamping
might be an adventure for the inexperienced and/or person with insufficient
clamp inventory.
