Boos Blocks Maple Cutting Boards

Boos Block Cutting Boards Made from Maple Wood

Maple Wood – the Main Wood Type for Boos Blocks

Since 1887, Boos Blocks has primarily used North American hard maple wood for their cutting boards. It is a fast-growing hardwood of the highest quality with ideal properties for food preparation. In American gastronomy, hard maple wood, also known as sugar maple, is the standard for cutting boards, butcher blocks, and work surfaces.

Durable and Long-lasting Surface

Hard maple wood has perfect properties for cutting boards. It is stable, durable, long-lasting, hygienic, knife-friendly, easy to clean, and inhibits bacterial growth – provided it is properly maintained. The tree species predominantly grows in the North American region and is most commonly used for producing maple syrup. Hard maple is denser and harder than other maple species and is also highly valued as furniture or flooring wood.

Different Coloring with Fine Grain

The coloring of maple hardwood adapts to any environment. The color palette ranges from a blonde tone with a hint of reddish-brown to a light reddish-brown coloring with dark shades.
