John Boos Board
Best heirloom quality surface for dedicated home cooks.
This circular cherry wood block is substantial enough to handle heavy chopping but elegant enough to anchor a charcuterie spread. The reversible edge-grain construction doubles its lifespan, though its 1.5-inch heft means you will want to find a permanent spot for it on your counter rather than tucking it away.
