Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly durable and self-healing, meaning the wood fibers close back up after being cut. This design is significantly gentler on your knife blades compared to edge-grain or plastic surfaces, helping your cutlery stay sharp for longer.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply Boos Block Mystery Oil or Board Cream. This helps maintain the moisture balance and protects the surface from food stains and bacteria.
The knife holder is built into the unit as a permanent feature to ensure stability and safety. It is designed to keep your most-used blades organized and protected while you work on the butcher block surface.
Yes, with a substantial 10-inch thickness and a 115-pound weight, this block is built for heavy-duty use. It provides a stable, stationary surface that won't slide or wobble while you are chopping or prepping ingredients.
The unit arrives with the L-4 pencil legs included. Depending on the specific shipping configuration, some minor assembly may be required to attach the legs to the block, but it is designed for a straightforward setup.
