The review
Why we put this on the shelf.
End-grain maple is the gold standard for cutting boards: blade edges slip between the wood fibers rather than slicing across them, which keeps your knives sharper longer and the board looking new for decades.
John Boos has been making these in Effingham, Illinois since 1887. We treat ours with their bee oil + cream every few months and the patina just gets better.
A real cutting board is one of those small upgrades that quietly raises the quality of every meal you cook.
