John Boos CCB183-S Chopping Block

End-grain wood fibers run vertically, allowing your knife blade to slide between the fibers rather than cutting across them. This helps keep your knives sharper for longer and prevents the board from showing deep, unsightly cut marks.

Yes, at 26 pounds, this block is exceptionally stable. Its substantial weight and 3-inch thickness ensure it won't slide or shift on your countertop while you are working.

Because it is wood, you must hand wash it with mild soap and water—never put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will cause it to warp or crack. To maintain the wood, regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax cream to keep it hydrated and protected.

No, this model features a flat, smooth surface on both sides without a juice groove. This design maximizes the usable surface area for chopping and makes it an excellent choice for serving charcuterie or cheese.

Absolutely. The board is fully reversible, allowing you to use one side for meat prep and the other for vegetables, or simply to flip it over to ensure even wear over time.
