The History of John Boos & Co
In 1887, Effingham, Illinois blacksmith Conrad Boos used a Sycamore tree placed on three legs while hammering horseshoes. Three years later, a local butcher realized a wooden Boos Block could be used for cutting meat, and had one custom made. By 1911, John Boos & Co was shipping custom butcher blocks from coast to coast. Throughout the 20’s to 40’s, John Boos expanded and added tables and workbenches to their product range, the majority of which went to the war effort during WWII. By the 1940s, John Boos had earned their outstanding reputation for quality and craftsmanship, and their butcher blocks were found in every restaurant, food store and butcher shop in America. Today, the traditional craftsmen work ethic is still alive and well at John Boos, where all boards and butcher blocks are still proudly manufactured in Effingham, Illinois. Often imitated, John Boos boards and blocks are favorites of professional chefs and can be found in restaurants and commercial settings worldwide.
Committed to Environmental Integrity
John Boos’ Hardwood foresters follow professional best practices that mirror natural forces. Individual trees are selected for harvest, encouraging forests to renew and regenerate themselves naturally and prolifically. John Boos & Co. recycles 95% of all raw lumber scraps and sawdust which are used to generate electricity and create steam to fuel the boilers. John Boos sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for local agricultural needs.
Care and Maintenance
Keeping Your Board Sanitized: Wash your John Boos cutting board with hot soapy water after each use and dry 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. Like all natural wood cutting boards, John Boos boards are not intended for the dishwasher.
Maintaining Your Board:
Oil your cutting board on all surfaces every 3-4 weeks to maintain the original Boos block cream finish with beeswax. This quick task will protect and prolong the board’s life and ensure it is enjoyed for decades to come. John Boos recommends using John Boos Mystery Oil and/or John Boos Block Cream. (Sold separately on Amazon.)
John Boos Mystery Oil and Butcher Block Cream: Recommended for use with all John Boos wood products
- Food Safe
- Easy to Apply
- Protects and prolongs the life of the board

Product Description
John Boos products are designed to meet the demanding expectations of commercial kitchens, and exceed the highest level of quality and food safety standards. Each board and block is made from sustainably harvested North American hardwoods, and offers a commercial grade cutting surface that protects the sharp edge on fine cutlery. Often imitated, John Boos and Co. is internationally known for its expertise in crafting American hardwoods into products of beauty, durability and function.
Simple board care can ensure this heirloom, handcrafted board is a favorite in your kitchen for years to come. Every John Boos Board and Block comes with a food safe natural oil finish that helps protect the wood during transit. Once a month, apply an even coat of NSF Approved John Boos Mystery Oil (sold separately), and allow it to soak in overnight. Repeat this process more often when the board is brand new and “thirsty,” or if you live in a dry, arid climate. John Boos recommends applying John Boos Board Cream (also sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface after applying the Mystery Oil. A few quick minutes of regular oil application will ensure your new board is properly seasoned, and ready for work! After use, wash board with warm, soapy water (all wooden cutting boards are not dishwasher safe and should not be soaked in water).
Since 1887, every genuine John Boos cutting board and butcher block has been proudly made in Effingham, Illinois by skilled craftspeople using time honored techniques. Today, USA made John Boos cutting boards and butcher blocks are used and loved in commercial and home kitchens worldwide.

Great price too!
Impressed with the Vendor!
Cleaning:
One thing I do recommend for cleaning the board is to use a wet paper towel and wipe down the board after you're done using it instead of throwing it into the sink and running it under water. I have never run it directly under water or used dish detergent on the board, since the wood can soak up the chemicals from the dish detergent. I noticed that when cutting green onions or any herb, the smell will tend to "soak" into the board. When this happens I take some slices of lemon and sprinkle some coarse salt over the board and rub it in a few times with the lemon/ salt scrub mixture. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then wipe it off. The lemon helps neutralize the odors and keep new food from picking up the odor.
Care:
I bought the Boo's mystery oil and the bee's wax to condition the board and use the oil once the board starts looking a bit dry (about one to two times a week). You'll notice the board is dry when it begins to look white and no longer the rich wood color on top. I use the bees wax about twice a month to keep the waxy layer on the board and that really helps with preventing water from being soaked into the board. I've had this cutting board now for over a year use it on a daily basis, and haven't had any problems with it. This is my second Boo's block cutting board and I really love the quality of these boards. I've had all kinds of boards from plastic to bamboo and had various bamboo boards break in half, but haven't encountered any issues with the Boo's block! Just be sure to take good care of the board, these boards do require more care than the typical cutting board but I think it's worth it considering how long they last.

Update: wood is beginning to show minute gap separation after a year. Was oiled and never in water. Could possibly be lumber stock from trees effected by global warming. I never had wood separate on my older cutting boards.
I apply a liberal amount of good wood oil, spread it evenly on wood, and a piece of waxed paper cut to size over the top and leave soak over night or two. Works great. Makes for a water-resistant coating for a week or more depending on ones' use.
Liked it enough to buy a 2nd one. Oddly, the new one is a 1/4" smaller (11.75" x 11.75")

I've seen some folks say this item is not shipped well. I have no idea who wrapped their shipment, I can just tell you my own experience.
This item arrived in perfect condition, wrapped in heavy commercial plastic wrap, placed inside a heavy shipping box which was placed inside an Amazon padded shipping bag.
There were absolutely no blemishes or defects of any kind on this item or my other Boos Blocks.
I take care to prep my blocks before use as advised and thus far has never had any issues. I just received this one today so I obviously can not speak to anything about use, but it did arrive exactly as described. If it is even close to being as good as my other two blocks, I'm golden. I would 100% buy again and would buy as a gift. Great products from Boos.
