John Boos BBQ Collection Reversible Wood Cutting Board with Juice Groove

Yes, American Black Walnut is a medium-density hardwood that is gentle on knife edges, making it an excellent choice for keeping your blades sharp compared to harder woods or plastic boards.

To keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking, you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated Boos Block Mystery Oil regularly. How often depends on your usage, but a good rule of thumb is to re-oil whenever the wood starts to look dry or dull.

Absolutely. While one side features a juice groove to catch liquids from meats or fruits, the reverse side is completely flat, providing a larger, uninterrupted surface for chopping vegetables or serving charcuterie.

No, this board should never be placed in a dishwasher. The high heat and moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack; instead, hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately.

At 7 pounds, the board has a substantial, professional weight that prevents it from sliding around while you work. It is heavy enough to remain stable during heavy chopping, but still manageable to move from the counter to the sink for cleaning.
