John Boos Maple Square Chopping Block

End-grain construction means the wood fibers are oriented vertically, which allows your knife edge to slip between the fibers rather than cutting across them. This helps keep your knives sharper for longer and hides knife marks better than traditional edge-grain boards.

Yes, because it is made of natural wood, you should hand wash it only and never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or a board cream.

At three inches thick, this block is exceptionally sturdy and stable for heavy-duty chopping tasks. Its weight and density prevent it from sliding around your countertop while you work.

Absolutely. The natural beauty of the Hard Rock Maple makes it an excellent choice for serving cheese, charcuterie, or appetizers when you aren't using it for prep work.

No, this model does not come with non-slip feet. If you find it moves while you are chopping, we recommend placing a damp paper towel or a silicone mat underneath the board to keep it securely in place.
