Square Maple Cutting Board with Feet
Add a handsome yet highly functional tool to your kitchen arsenal with this wooden cutting board from John Boos. Made of solid maple with edge-grain construction for durability, the square-shaped US made cutting board comes with four wooden feet on the base, slightly rounded edges, and a smooth work surface. The finely crafted board works well for a variety of food-prep tasks including chopping meat, slicing and dicing fruits and vegetables, or mincing fresh herbs.
More attractive and durable than plastic alternatives, wooden cutting boards also can inhibit bacteria growth and are easier on knives.

Keeping Your Board Sanitized
Wash your John Boos cutting board with hot soapy water after each use and dry it 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. Wood cutting boards are NOT dishwasher-safe.
Maintaining Your Board
Oil your cutting board on all surfaces every 3-4 weeks. The Boos block cream finish with beeswax (included with the board) will protect and prolong the board's life. We recommend using John Boos Mystery Oil and/or Boos Block Cream with Beeswax.
