This John Boos walnut cutting board brings a 1-3/4-inch-thick slab of American black walnut to the prep station, sized at 18 inches deep by 12 inches wide for a generous working surface.
The 18-by-12 surface handles the jobs where a small board runs short: breaking down a roast, slicing a full loaf, or working through a pile of vegetables without running off the edge. The juice groove around the perimeter catches the run-off from proteins and fruit so the liquid stays on the board rather than on the counter. At nearly two inches thick, the board does not shift or flex under a heavy knife stroke, and the mass of the walnut absorbs impact rather than transferring it to the blade.
Walnut sits in the middle of the hardwood hardness scale, harder than softer woods that show deep scarring quickly, but gentler on an edge than end-grain maple at its densest. The grain is tight and closed, which limits moisture absorption when the board is properly maintained with a food-safe oil. The dark, even color of black walnut also means surface marks and staining are far less visible than on a lighter wood, so the board looks presentable longer in a working kitchen. Because this is a wood cutting board, it should be hand-washed, dried promptly, and oiled on a regular schedule to maintain the surface and prevent cracking.
This is the board for a kitchen where prep work is taken seriously and the equipment on the counter is expected to look as good as it performs. The Bun Feet Series positions it as a gift-collection piece, which makes it a practical choice for a housewarming, a kitchen renovation, or a professional cook who wants a board that earns its counter space. Cabinet shops and woodworking dealers who stock John Boos for the finish-out segment will find this a straightforward specification for a high-use kitchen.
Yes. Like all unfinished wood cutting boards, this walnut board should be conditioned with a food-safe board oil before first use and re-oiled regularly. John Boos offers its own Mystery Oil and Board Cream for this purpose, sold separately.
The source data does not specify edge grain or end grain construction for this SKU. Check the product spec block or contact us before ordering if grain orientation is a deciding factor for your application.
No. Wood cutting boards should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water, then dried immediately. Dishwasher heat and prolonged water exposure will warp and crack the wood.
The groove runs around the perimeter of the cutting surface to catch liquids during carving and slicing. It keeps run-off contained on the board rather than reaching the counter.
Choose this John Boos walnut board when the prep station needs a thick, stable surface that handles real kitchen work and looks the part doing it.
