Standing Butcher Block

The Standing Butcher Block cutting board is a hefty three inches thick and made from solid Northern hard rock maple. Designed to last a lifetime, this butcher block features classic end-grain construction. End-grain butcher blocks are more durable, feature a harder surface than regular chopping blocks, and are easier on knife blades. The end-grain construction absorbs the knife between the fibers of the wood. Because the blade is not dulled by crushing against the wood, knives stay sharper longer. The end-grain work surface of this board also resists nicks and gouges, preventing bacteria from entering the wood. The solid maple is constructed in a checkerboard pattern, which adds a decorative touch. Four solid maple legs support the board and leave the counter space below free for stowing small items while cooking.

The Standing Butcher Block cutting board is finished with the standard Boos Block Cream Finish with Beeswax, to seal and protect the wood. The Boos block cream penetrates deeply into the grains of the wood, leaving a silky wax barrier to lock moisture in, and allows your board to be used as a cutting surface. This finish can be maintained with John Boos Mystery Oil or Boos Board Cream.

John Boos & Co is firmly committed to managing environmental matters as an integral part of their business practice. Some of the steps they take to accomplish their “green” status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos’ sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
