Inspired by the original Boos butcher blocks crafted in 1887, these solid hardwood blocks are handcrafted in Illinois from sustainably harvested kiln-dried walnut. They feature exposed, unfinished edges to showcase each board’s unique qualities, from wood-grain patterns to age rings and rustic bark. Each board is hand-finished with Boos food-grade oil and branded with Boos’ original logo. Crafted in the USA from sustainably harvested American walnut. Solid wood board holds up to years of slicing and chopping. Due to natural variations in the unfinished edges, overall dimensions may vary up to 1/2 inch. Made by John Boos and Co., the leading manufacturer of butcher blocks and a staple of the commercial cooking industry since 1887.
