The Steamer Block combines the durability of a commercial grade butcher block with the style of a finely crafted furniture piece. The hefty 5-inch thick 100% solid Northern hard rock maple butcher block top is coated with the standard Boos Block Cream Finish with Beeswax. 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. The sturdy carved wooden base comes in a variety of colorful finishes to complement your kitchen decor. Two storage drawers are included, each with a decorative brass square knob. The Steamer Block also features vintage leather steamer trunk handles, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. Built to stand the test of time, the Steamer Block is sure to become an heirloom piece and a lasting addition to any kitchen setting. At nearly 3 feet tall, this compact butcher block work table is also the ideal height for food preparation tasks.
The Steamer Block features a 5" thick Northern Hard Rock Maple butcher block with end-grain construction. The end-grain work surface is easy on knives; during cutting or chopping, the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the blade, which keeps knives sharper longer. The malleable and forgiving end grain surface is resistant to nicks and gouges, which prevents bacteria from entering the wood, keeps the board looking new longer and increases its longevity. The surface of the Steamer Block features a Boos Block Cream Finish with Beeswax that penetrates deeply into the grains of the wood, leaving a silky wax barrier to lock moisture in. 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.
