Boos End-Grain Chopping Block

End-grain construction allows the wood fibers to separate when your knife strikes the board, rather than cutting across them. This not only helps your knife blades stay sharper for longer but also makes the board more resistant to deep cuts and scarring over time.

No, this chopping block is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture from a dishwasher will cause the solid maple to warp, crack, or split. You should hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately.

No, this model features a flat, traditional design without non-slip feet or a juice groove. Because it weighs 21 pounds, it is quite stable on most countertops, but you may want to place a damp towel underneath it if you prefer extra grip while chopping.

To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated butcher block cream. This creates a protective barrier that keeps the wood hydrated and prevents it from absorbing food odors or moisture.

This specific board is designed as a single-sided surface and is not reversible. It is built with a specific top-facing grain orientation intended for heavy-duty use on one side.
