Alex Seidel
“I love my Boos Block cutting board! It is the centerpiece in my kitchen. The only problem is that all my cooks want one now. It is the most durable cutting board that I have ever used. The way my knife reacts to the wood and the product makes the most precise cuts…I will never compromise that reaction again. Thank you!”
