John Boos Cucina Laforza – 6" End-Grain Maple, Cherry, or Walnut Cart with Stainless Base
Cucina Laforza at a Glance
- Brand: John Boos
- Top: 6″ thick end-grain butcher block in Maple, Cherry, or Walnut
- Base: Food-service grade stainless steel with lower shelf
- Adjustable feet: Level the cart for stability
- Optional: CUCCAS-DLGS Locking Casters
- Made in the USA
The Cucina Laforza combines a monumental 6-inch end-grain butcher block with a gleaming stainless-steel base for a cart that’s equal parts power and polish. Choose from Northern Hard Rock Maple, American Cherry, or American Black Walnut—each wood species bringing its own character, color, and grain to the centerpiece of your kitchen.
End-Grain Craft: Beauty that Works Hard
The end-grain surface is self-healing, gentle on knives, and patterned with a natural checkerboard mosaic. At 6 inches thick, it’s a commanding prep station built to absorb years of slicing, kneading, and carving. Walnut brings warmth and drama, Cherry mellows into a rich auburn, and Maple offers classic strength and light tones that brighten any space.
- Walnut: luxurious depth and contrast.
- Cherry: starts soft, darkens with age into heirloom character.
- Maple: durable, clean, timeless in any décor.
Stainless Steel Foundation
The 304 series stainless steel frame provides both support and sparkle. A sturdy lower shelf holds cookware or small appliances, while adjustable feet keep your workstation steady. For mobility, upgrade to locking casters, transforming Laforza into a rolling island.

Maintenance & Care
End-grain wood requires regular conditioning to stay hydrated and resist cracking. Always use a cutting board on Varnique tops, but Laforza’s end-grain is built for direct prep.
- Wipe clean after use with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Re-oil monthly with food-safe oil, then apply Boos Cream to lock in moisture.
- We recommend the Boos Mystery Oil & Cream Care Package.
- For full guidance, see our Butcher Block Care Guide.
