Review on 🔪 20x15x2.25 John Boos Block RA02-GRV Maple Wood Edge Grain Reversible Cutting Board with Juice Moat by Sheila Vaughn

I haven't had many opportunities to use my board before, but have enjoyed carving it out for the time I have. Solid construction, with due care I should be able to pass it on to one of my daughters. At 16# weight, I found that the grooves cut along the edges were not enough to easily rotate the board between flat/grooved sides. , so I added a pair of cast iron handles (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IQNVBD2) to the ends as shown. They add almost a pound to an already heavy block, but the benefit outweighs the extra weight. The cast iron also gives the board a rustic aesthetic. Don't neglect to refinish a new plank, applying 2-4 coats of mineral oil before first use will make a difference in durability. Regularly lubricating the board with additional coats of mineral oil also helps.
