Boos Block CCB151503 Chopping Block, Wood, Maple

A big decision to get this and a leap of faith. Tiny kitchen and chunky board, it takes up a fair chunk of my workspace but is a welcome addition and so far much used. I went for 4 inches thick in the hope it might not split along some of the end grain joins which seems part of the course with end grain boards compared to other build types. The negative reviews about this problem, Boos included, put me off some of the thinner boards. I’m caring for it well with oil, conditioner and dedicated cleaner so let’s see. It seems beautifully made, I’ll see how it goes and will review again if ‘split’ problems emerge. I just wish Boos cream was easier to get on the UK without a ransom. Boos gave a sample with the board but enough of a tiny sachet only to coat one side which is a little mean for the cost! Try buying the cream for a reasonable price here seems a challenge.

Cost a fortune but will last a lifetime... you gets what you pays for and this is high end quality
