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. Word spread to surrounding small towns and cities and by 1911, John Boos & Co was shipping custom butcher blocks from coast to coast. Throughout the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, John Boos expanded their production and product range to include tables and workbenches, 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 John Boos 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.

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.

Product Description
Bring home a culinary classic from with a Chop-N-Slice Cutting Board by John Boos. Chop-N-Slice boards are ideal boards for everyday use. Versatile and more lightweight than RA or R Boards, Chop-N-Slice Boards measure 1-1.25 inches thick. Available with or without a groove, these NSF certified boards are sure to become the go-to board in your kitchen for years to come.
John Boos products are designed to meet the demanding expectations of commercial kitchens, and exceed the highest level of quality and food safety standards. Each board and block is made from sustainably harvested North American hardwoods, and offers a commercial grade cutting surface 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 NSF Approved John Boos Mystery Oil (sold separately), and allow it to soak in overnight. Repeat this process more often when the board is brand new and “thirsty,” 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).
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.

I will say that a majority of the negative reviews on here should be taken with a grain of salt. Yes, there are a few pictures where it does seem that the board was poorly glued together, but a vast majority of pictures showing splitting are attributed to user error and poor maintenance. You shouldn't be dropping or tossing this board around like your typical bamboo board. A well-maintained Maple board also shouldn't be pale white and dry as Hades. You can't just throw this thing in a dishwasher and expect it to survive. You also shouldn't leave this thing soaking in soap and water. If you're the type that just wants a low maintenance board, don't bother with this block at all. You don't have to oil the board after every use, but at least oil it every month or so. You don't even have to buy any expensive magical oils or Boo's stuff to take care of it. Just use regular mineral oil and apply it liberally. Let the thing dry overnight. Amazon sells a whole gallon for like $18. Also, buy a cutting board rack. Natural hard woods should be stored upright or vertically. Storing them flat just introduces it to unnecessary prolonged stress which just simply means premature splitting, warping, or cracking.
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023
It is fairly well made, consisting of strips of maple well glued along their length, then cut to size, planed flat on both sides for two working surfaces, and rounded nicely on all edges. (Deep finger-holds are routed into both ends.) I say "fairly" because there is a problem that many have noticed: this board tends to split at the ends in dry weather. The reason is that wood expands and shrinks in response to changes in moisture. Wood consists of tiny straw-like fibers that tend to absorb moisture at their ends much more than elsewhere. Thus, this board responds to moisture changes primarily where those fibers are exposed in the end grain: along both short ends of the board. However, moisture is only slowly transmitted along the fibers. What happens is that the first inch or two at each end will quickly expand (when wet or in humid air) or shrink (when dry) *relative to the rest of the board,* which changes little. You won't notice the expansion: that just squeezes the ends harder together. But extra shrinkage splits the sections of board apart at the ends as they pull apart from one another. Mine has gaps that get as large as 1/16" across and penetrate up to 2" into the board. (A by-product of these moisture-driven changes is a slight curving of the board across its short length. This actually is good: by placing the convex side of the board up, you get a surface that works better for cutting because it lessens the depth of the hollows that are carved out after years of chopping.)
Much of this splitting problem could be avoided if the manufacturer would glue up the board when the pieces are extremely dry and at their most shrunken.
The solution is occasionally to soak the *ends* of the board in a pan of water during dry weather (winter, here in the US northeast). Within a few hours the gaps will close. Unfortunately, they open up again within days, so frequent maintenance is required if the splits bother you: that's the reason for just four stars.
When moisture is not extreme--which for us is most of the year--applying a little mineral oil to the surface and ends once every month or two and letting it sit overnight before wiping off is all it needs. Once the splits close this spring, I plan to soak the ends even more liberally with mineral oil to reduce its moisture exchange with the air, but I am not optimistic that this will fully cure the problem.
