Title: Boos Block prep table score
Post by: Winz on April 06, 2016, 06:24:09 PM: Was perusing CL today in search of patio furniture for my new digs when this caught my eye. I enjoy good kitchen knives and cutting boards - this will make a great prep table for grilling. Top is end cut and thick (I think cherry, but the seller said maple). Frame and base are stainless, casters lock in place.

Now, if Weber would just make a really nice combination smoker/grill that was charcoal based, I could replace Bisbee and Wapiti with one unit :)

It will keep it in good shape. You can get it from Amazon - John Boos MYSB Mystery Butcher Block Oil, 16 ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00063QPYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_FFCbxbH1H4K7K

Thats a nice gift, I am sure she was very happy. I had an end grain walnut board built last summer. And yes, I buy block oil in large quantities : )

I was very happy with what I paid : ). I am thinking about keeping it covered outside, however, it is f"ing hot here in AZ during the summer. May have to roll it out when I am planning a big cook, and keep it indoors when not in use.

I am by no means a wood expert, but color-wise it sure looks like the cherry version to me.

The lady I bought it from did not want to cut on it - in fact, she always put another cutting board on top of it to protect the top. ???

As for me - I can't wait to get cutting on this thing...

Post by: mwmac on April 07, 2016, 10:07:24 PM: Great score. Now get some mineral oil and beeswax 50:50 heat until wax melts and keep the block well treated.
