Know before you buy
The natural oil finish requires regular maintenance and re-oiling to keep the wood hydrated, making it ideal if you plan to use the surface directly for food preparation. The Varnique finish is a semi-gloss, low-maintenance protective coating that is more resistant to spills and stains but should not be used as a direct cutting surface.
Yes, if you select the natural oil finish, the surface is food-safe and suitable for direct chopping. If you choose the Varnique finish, we recommend using a separate cutting board to protect the integrity of the protective coating.
Face grain construction showcases the wide, beautiful planks of the American Cherry wood, highlighting its natural color and grain patterns. While it offers a stunning visual aesthetic, it is generally softer on knife blades than edge-grain or end-grain alternatives.
No, these countertops are shipped as solid wood slabs without pre-drilled holes or mounting hardware. You or your installer will need to determine the best attachment method based on your specific cabinetry and expansion requirements.
For oil-finished boards, apply John Boos Mystery Oil or Board Cream regularly to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking. For Varnique finishes, simply wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
