John Boos Homestead Block – 5" End-Grain Maple, Walnut, or Cherry Butcher Block Island
The Homestead Block is a true statement piece — a 5" end-grain butcher block paired with a hidden apron drawer, slatted shelf, and sturdy notched square legs. Available in maple, walnut, or cherry, it blends rustic heritage with luxury design, handcrafted in the USA and finished with Boos Block Cream (beeswax formula).
A Worktop That Defines Heirloom Quality
With its commanding 5" end-grain butcher block top, the Homestead Block offers unmatched strength and beauty. The upright grain structure gently absorbs knife marks, protecting blades and creating a warm, natural texture that improves with age.
- 5" thick butcher block: stability you can feel in every cut.
- End-grain construction: knife-friendly, resilient, and visually stunning.
- Rounded 1/2" radius edges: smooth comfort where your hands meet the wood.
Hidden Drawer, Open Shelf, Lasting Style
A large concealed drawer in the apron stores utensils, linens, or tools out of sight, while the slatted shelf keeps heavier items or display pieces close at hand. The notched square legs add architectural presence, balancing function with timeless design.
- Hidden apron drawer: discreet storage that keeps surfaces clear.
- Slatted shelf: sturdy lower storage for cookware or décor.
- Notched square legs: a bold base that grounds the block with character.
