The White House Chef's Cutting Board

Made by John Boos & Co., crafters of fine butcher blocks since 1887, this is the maple cutting board preferred by the White House's Executive Chef and renowned culinary professionals. The board is made from 1 1/2" thick North American hard rock maple, a tight-grained hardwood that won't harbor bacteria like soft-wood cutting boards, allowing use with raw meat or fish. The surface is constructed of edge grain maple with full length solid maple rails, creating a durable surface that resists years of knife strikes yet is forgiving on sharp edges. The cutting board is reversible, enabling you to reserve one side for strong-flavored foods (like garlic or onions) and the other for fruits or vegetables. The board is hand-sanded and finished with a food-safe mineral oil that prevents cracks or warping. Carved handgrips ensure a confident hold and the stout, 18-lb. board will remain stable as you chop. Hand wash. 1 1/2" H x 24" L x 18" D. (18 lbs.)
