The AA11 Boos Block is a high-quality workstation designed for professional kitchens, butcheries, and serious home cooks. Handcrafted in Effingham, Illinois, this 40-inch-wide, 35-inch-deep, and 34-inch-tall cutting board features a 16-inch-thick end-grain Northern Hard Rock Maple top. The end-grain construction absorbs knife impact, resists warping, and helps keep your blades sharper for longer. Regular oiling maintains the rich maple luster while preventing cracking, staining, and bacterial growth.
