Big, beautiful chopping block! Perfect for cutting our homemade pizzas (14” round). Heavy (9 lbs), but easy to handle, and we store it vertically under the kitchen sink. It balances well on a 4” round plastic container top, so it airs out when not in use.As with all wood boards, wash them with a small amount of mild soap and water, then pat them dry with a towel (not paper, which sticks to the wood). Don’t submerge it in water or use a dishwasher, and do store it upright or vertically.My cutting board tips:When you first get it, wash it and let it dry overnight, then oil it before use, along the wood grain, using food-grade mineral oil with a soft cloth with no loose fibers (a piece of T-shirt will do), once a day for a week. Let the oil soak in overnight. After the first week, add beeswax cream after the mineral oil. Before you chop food on it – wipe off any excess oil and wax, wash the board with warm water, and pat dry with a towel.For the first month, oil it weekly, then once a month, forever.When cutting wet foods don’t let them sit too long on the board.If you see too many cut marks, sand the board down with a medium sanding block and then a fine sanding block, then re-oil for a like-new board.Don’t store it in a humid or wet environment, or too close to a hot oven.Don’t use serrated knives on the board.

I like the small size of this cutting board because it take up little space, I also like the deep groove which allows juice to accumulate without spilling onto the board. I haven't used it yet, however the quality of the wood looks nice and looks like it will stand up well.

I purchased the Boos cutting board in January of 2023. I read on how to "take care" of the board based upon the company's suggestions. I left it out on a granite countertop, not just for usage but also to avoid warping. They also recommended to use their oils and creams which I bought and used. Sounds stupid, but I never put it in the dishwasher, soaked or left it in water. I basically cleaned it with a minimal amount of water, soap and a sponge. Here we are almost 2 years later and the board is warped and splitting at 1 of the seams. I called Boos customer service and lets say their is very little service. The woman I spoke to seemed like I was bothering her and she indicated the warranty is not valid and indicated all the things I probably did or didn't do to preserve the integrity of the board. HUH??? I explained in detail that I followed ALL of their directions even the oils. What's worse I made a comment that I guess I will just trash it and she laughed and repeated the warranty is not valid. I don't expect anything for free or refund but what I did expect is to take ownership of a product that is either not made well or it defective, especially it can't uphold a sponge. Side note, after I purchased this board I purchased a different board from another company (nothing fancy or expensive) and guess what... it's still in excellent condition!! Sadly I will not buy, recommend or purchase the Boos board again.

The groove is too wide for this small cutting board, the surface is not very smooth (for oiling it is better to use sponge or microfiber instead of a kitchen towel). The JB cutting boards are very dry, not seasoned, so you need to spend some efforts on oiling

O produto empenou e descolou partes com poucos meses de uso. Não recomendo.

Esta tabla de cortar me ha resultado muy útil, la limpieza es muy fácil además de que recomiendo adquirir los productos para mantener la tabla en buen estado, siendo esos los aceites. Muy resistente, incluso al caer de una mesa de trabajo. El precio es algo elevado, pero vale la pena invertir en un producto de gran calidad.

John Boos stand to it's reputation " great product, best quality". Never had a second thought when I bought this chopping board because I knew it will last a lifetime with proper care and attention. And by the way this is my second chopping board from John Boos, my first is 24X18x2.25 inches. I love it and you'll love it too professionals, amateurs and home cooks alike. Little heavy, but that what makes a beautiful, reliable and heavy duty chopping board.

i waited a year to write this review because there were so many people complaining of splits and cracks. I have ha no problems and am quite happy with my board. I have kept it dry and haven't exposed it to extreme temperatures. I have used it daily, cleaning immediately and treating it with Mystery Oil when dry. I condition it regularly, I'm not sure I'd need to oil or condition except for sanitary reasons. The board is quite solid and well-made.Two things to consider with a solid wood product splitting: 1) Where does the split occur? 2) How was the product stored and handled? A split along a seam is manufacture. A split in a piece of wood could be material selection, but is more likely care. That includes the care given during transportation and storage between the manufacturer and your kitchen. A board that has been stored in a humid environment or allowed to get wet may not recover well, or quickly. Buy from a reputable seller. Check packaging for signs of moisture or stress. Allow the board time to acclimate before oiling and using, if it's been transported from a different climate. Be careful about using the board near a range top, where heat can stress the wood if it's wet.I love my board, will continue to care for it, and expect to see many more years of use from it.

...update...Had it now almost 4 months. On 1 of the edges, there is a slight separation where the pieces are glued together. Main thing on any board is to keep it well oiled. I wash and dry the board immediately after use, and oil well once/month now. If you are not willing to do frequent oiling, do not buy a wood board. They are great, but need to be oiled regularly or they will separate with time. I love the heavy weight of the board. I have very sharp Japanese knives, they are not cutting up the board at all.Only had it about a month, but so far so good. Nice and thick. This board 1 1/4" thick, the board it replaced eventually warped, it was only 3/4 thick. So worth the extra money to get a thick heavy board that will not move around when cutting. The main thing about any cutting board is to oil it regularly. When you order the board, be sure to order "Block Oil." I like this for regular maintenance of the board. I have tried others, like this oil the best. How often to oil? One brand I saw recommended once/day for the first week...once week for the first month...then once month. This is what I did with this board. However, since the board brand new and of course dry, for the first 7 days I oiled with plain pure mineral oil since you can buy in any drug store for a cheap price. After that, starting using the "Block Oil." This oil hard to find in the stores so recommend you buy it from Amazon same time as the board. We have very sharp Japanese knives, the board is holding up to them. This board on the Test Kitchen recommended list. Worth it so far. Bought this size as it fits nicely in our kitchen cabinet drawer.
