John Boos Classic Collection Walnut Wood Chopping Block, 18 Inches Round x 3 Inches

The Classic End Grain Chopping Block collection by John Boos brings a culinary classic to your kitchen. These butcher blocks, made with beautiful end grain construction, feature the iconic checkerboard wood pattern that has made the Classic collection a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike.

Available in both round and square shapes, and with 3 or 4 inch thicknesses, the Classic blocks are true to their roots - they are not reversible, but are instead designed 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, John Boos products are used and loved in commercial and home kitchens worldwide, trusted by generations of culinary professionals.

John Boos cutting boards and butcher blocks are designed to meet the demanding requirements of culinary professionals, who expect the highest levels of quality and food safety. The robust and durable construction gives the work surface a commercial-grade toughness that protects the sharp edge of 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.

With proper care, a John Boos board can be a cherished heirloom in your kitchen for years to come. Each board comes with a food-safe natural oil finish to help protect the wood during transit. To maintain the board, simply apply an even coat of John Boos Mystery Oil (NSF approved, sold separately) once a month, allowing it to soak in overnight. In drier climates or when the board is brand new, this process may need to be repeated more often. John Boos also recommends using their Board Cream (sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface after applying the Mystery Oil. A few minutes of regular oil application will ensure your new board is properly seasoned and ready for use.

After each use, the board should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Wooden cutting boards should never be placed in the dishwasher or soaked in water, as this can damage the wood.

The John Boos Block WAL-CCB183-R Round Classic End Grain Butcher Block is a prime example of the quality and craftsmanship that has made the company a global leader in the culinary industry. This 18-inch round, 3-inch thick butcher block is made from sustainably sourced, hand-selected solid American Black Walnut wood, and features the iconic and durable end grain construction that is the hallmark of the Classic collection. Trusted by top chefs and restaurants around the world, a John Boos board is the professional's choice for a reason - it is designed to meet the highest standards of durability and food safety, while also being gentle on fine cutlery.
