These butcher blocks will become beloved heirloom pieces, treasured for years to come.

The History of John Boos & Co

In 1887, Effingham, Illinois blacksmith Conrad Boos used a Sycamore tree placed on three legs while hammering horseshoes. Three years later, a local butcher realized a wooden Boos Block could be used for cutting meat, and had one custom made. By 1911, John Boos & Co was shipping custom butcher blocks from coast to coast. Throughout the 20’s to 40’s, John Boos expanded and added tables and workbenches to their product range, the majority of which went to the war effort during WWII. By the 1940s, John Boos had earned their outstanding reputation for quality and craftsmanship, and their butcher blocks were found in every restaurant, food store and butcher shop in America. Today, the traditional craftsmen work ethic is still alive and well at John Boos, where all boards and butcher blocks are still proudly manufactured in Effingham, Illinois. Often imitated, John Boos boards and blocks are favorites of professional chefs and can be found in restaurants and commercial settings worldwide.

Committed to Environmental Integrity

John Boos’ Hardwood foresters follow professional best practices that mirror natural forces. Individual trees are selected for harvest, encouraging forests to renew and regenerate themselves naturally and prolifically. John Boos & Co. recycles 95% of all raw lumber scraps and sawdust which are used to generate electricity and create steam to fuel the boilers. John Boos sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for local agricultural needs.

Care and Maintenance

Keeping Your Board Sanitized:

Wash your John Boos cutting board with hot soapy water after each use and dry with a clean towel or let it air dry. For further sanitation, the board can be rinsed with a vinegar or chlorine bleach solution. (1 teaspoon bleach to one quart of water/5-to-1 ratio of vinegar to water) Do not soak the board in water, this will damage the wood. Like all natural wood cutting boards, John Boos boards are not intended for the dishwasher.

Maintaining Your Board:

Oil your cutting board on all surfaces every 3-4 weeks to maintain the original Boos block cream finish with beeswax. This quick task will protect and prolong the board’s life and ensure it is enjoyed for decades to come. John Boos recommends using John Boos Mystery Oil and/or John Boos Block Cream. (Sold separately on Amazon.)

John Boos Mystery Oil and Butcher Block Cream: Recommended for use with all John Boos wood products.

Product Description

Bring home a culinary classic from the Classic Reversible End Grain Chopping Block collection by John Boos. The Classic collection features butcher blocks made with beautiful end grain construction, resulting in the iconic checkerboard wood pattern. Classic Reversible blocks are available in thicknesses ranging from 2.25-6 inches. True to their roots, Classic Collection Chopping Blocks are ideal for daily cutting, chopping and food preparation tasks. Since 1887, every genuine John Boos cutting board and butcher block has been proudly made in Effingham, Illinois by skilled craftspeople using time honored techniques. Today, USA made John Boos cutting boards and butcher blocks are used and loved in commercial and home kitchens worldwide. Generations of culinary professionals have trusted and relied on John Boos products, because Boos blocks and cutting boards are designed to meet the demanding requirements of culinary professionals who expect the highest level of quality and food safety standards. The robust and durable construction gives the work surface a commercial grade toughness that protects the sharp edge on fine cutlery. Often imitated, John Boos and Co. is internationally known for its expertise in crafting American hardwoods into products of beauty, durability and function. Simple board care can ensure this heirloom, handcrafted board is a favorite in your kitchen for years to come. Every John Boos Board and Block comes with a food safe natural oil finish that helps protect the wood during transit. Once a month, apply an even coat of John Boos Mystery Oil (NSF approved, sold separately), and allow it to soak in overnight. Repeat this process more often when the board is brand new or if you live in a dry, arid climate. John Boos recommends applying John Boos Board Cream (also sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface after applying the Mystery Oil. A few quick minutes of regular oil application will ensure your new board is properly seasoned, and ready for work! After use, wash board with warm, soapy water (all wooden cutting boards are not dishwasher safe and should not be soaked in water).. Troubleshooting : Warpage: The board needs to be Oiled at least once a month. After oiling the customer can apply the Boos Board Cream. Warpage is caused by a imbalance of moisture in the wood, be sure to oil all sides of the cutting board. Our boards are individually manufactured and oiled before packaging at the factory. ** note: Use the John Boos Oil or Mineral oil. Boos Board cream is to be used only with the oil. Splitting Glue line: If the board has been properly oiled and maintained the glue lines should hold indefinitely. Once in a while there might be a piece of wood that did not bond and a glue line failure can occur. Compared to the number of boards sold the amount with glue line failure is very small.

John Boos Maple Wood End Grain Reversible Butcher Block Cutting Board, 20"x 15" x 2.25 InchesI eyeballed this for a year. It went on sale from $185 to $125 and I jumped. I cook every day. I looked at this board for over a year. I failed to read these reviews. I’m a skeptic of reviews and this is my 2nd review ever. Let me tell you how badly disappointed I am. Not once, not twice, but three times. This is not the board for anyone. I know Boos and said do not put hot items on it. Do not let water sit on it. I’m not guilty of those. Not at all. I’ve cared for the original and TWO replacements. As soon as the cellophane wrapper came of, I instantly put Boos brand oil and let it sit overnight. Next day put Boos brand cream and let it sit overnight. Each and every board has separation between chunks of wood in random places. I suppose they are using different adhesive than from when they were making quality products.Purchased December and replaced January after three sections of separation. The replacement had separation after two weeks."Thank you for contacting John Boos. We are sorry for the inconvenience you have encountered. It is very common for end grain boards to sometimes separate. As there is still glue visible in the glue line, continued oiling monthly with Boos Mystery Oil should allow the block to swell back up. If you do not see improvement by the end of April, please contact us and we will look into this further.”I’m not sure why they wanted me to wait but I did and there was no difference. The glue didn’t magically expand to fill in the separation nor did it magically pull the two pieces of wood together over time. On 5/2/17 I told them there was no magic.Thank you for contacting John Boos. We are sorry for the inconvenience you have encountered. I will send you another replacement board. Please confirm the size of your board as well as the complete address where I need to ship the replacement.They were backordered and would have stock 5/26/17. I asked if this was a bad batch and asked for a different board but they could not do that.During the second replacement they said "We ship thousands and thousands of boards and very rarely have issues. It is possible that the glue just did not adhere properly. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.”I’m not sure exactly when in late May or June 2017 that I got my replacement, but it’s been 6 months and now the 3rd board is separating. They will send a 3rd and FINAL replacement but they are backordered for another 3 weeks. (AGAIN). Probably because they suck at life. They will not refund because I purchased here on Amazon.!!!!!!!!DO NOT BUY!!!!!! John Boos Maple Wood End Grain Reversible Butcher Block Cutting Board, 20"x 15" x 2.25 Inches

5.0 out of 5 stars 18x18 Maple End Grain packaging and first time care
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020
*As this is a gift for someone else, I just wanted to share a photo of the packaging when I opened it. The box itself was of low quality but there are fitted corner pads and the cutting board itself is wrapped in plastic.
One other thing, it comes with a small packet of Board Cream (but NOT the oil). My advice would be to take it out of the plastic and let the board adjust to the conditions of wherever you plan to use it over night. They recommend oiling the board once a month (depending on your specific variables). I would add that after letting the board adjust to the room overnight, inspect it for any cracks, etc. If all is well, and this is my recommendation only, oil the board as directed and let sit overnight on night 2 of receiving it.
I hope this helps!
