John Boos Walnut Cutting Board

Yes. At 1.5 inches thick, this board is substantial enough to handle heavy-duty prep work without sliding or warping. The edge-grain construction provides a durable, stable surface for chopping and slicing.

The sloped juice groove is designed to capture liquids efficiently, which actually keeps your countertops cleaner. While it requires a quick wipe-down, the groove is shallow enough that it doesn't trap debris, making it easy to maintain with standard dish soap and water.

Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side features the juice groove for messy tasks like carving meats or cutting juicy fruits, while the flat side is perfect for chopping vegetables or serving charcuterie.

This board comes finished with food-grade oil. To keep the walnut looking its best and prevent drying, you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream regularly, especially if you notice the wood looking dull or feeling dry.

Weighing in at 11 pounds, it is a sturdy piece of equipment. However, it includes recessed finger grips on the sides, which make it much easier to lift, transport, or flip over when you need to switch sides.
