With the Geneva cutting board collection by John Boos, the traditional John Boos cutting board gets an update with two American Black Walnut side rail handles on each board. The cutting board itself is made from carefully selected maple wood and measures 18 inches wide, 12 inches wide and is 1.75 inches thick. This cutting board features sleek edge grain construction with a proprietary Boos block cream and beeswax finish. This cutting board is as beautiful as it is durable. The two Black Walnut side rails with integrated handles add polish and sophistication and make this board easy to lift and move. This cutting board is reversible- both sides can be used for cutting, chopping, slicing and more. For best results, John Boos recommends oiling this finely crafted board often with John Boos Mystery Oil or Boos block cream (sold separately on Amazon).
