Description

John Boos “AB” Traditional Butcher Block – 18" × 18", 10" Thick

Model AB01 | Northern Hard Rock Maple End-Grain Workstation

Hand-crafted in Effingham, IL, the iconic Boos Block AB01 turns any kitchen or prep area into a chef-ready powerhouse. Its hefty 10 inch end-grain maple surface is gentle on knives, yet rugged enough for decades of chopping, dicing and pounding.

Why Choose End-Grain?

  • Knife-friendly surface helps keep blades sharper, longer
  • Natural wood fibers close up after cuts, resisting deep gouges & bacteria
  • Distinct checkerboard pattern delivers classic butcher-shop aesthetics
Wood Care Reminder: Re-oil and/or re-wax your Boos Block at least once a month (more often in dry climates) to maintain moisture balance and prevent cracking. Use only food-safe mineral oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil, followed by Board Cream.

Made in the USA and backed by John Boos & Co.—trusted by chefs since 1887.
