John Boos Cutting Board

by John Boos

Hardwood butcher blocks and cutting boards made by John Boos & Co. in Effingham, Illinois since 1887, in edge-grain and end-grain maple, walnut, and cherry.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A Boos chopping block is the anchor of the 'hardworking prep station' redditors recommend building around — thick solid hardwood that can be sanded and re-oiled indefinitely instead of replaced.
