Picture green leaves and straight, strong trees that are used for quality lumber. Made from renewable, sustainable hardwoods, these boards are carefully measured and stacked to dry and cure. All of them come from sustainably managed forests. Our commitment to being environmentally sustainable is to recycle our sawdust to be used in our boilers allowing us to eat our temperature controlled dry kilns. Manufactured in the USA. This allows us to put the finishing touches on with precision and care, whether that be branding a logo, sanding to perfection, or attaching handles. We are commitment to serving our gourmet and retail customers worldwide. Residential Kitchens interview with Christine Adair, Owner of Cakes by Christine in Illinois. My family has had a long association with John Boos products, dating back to my grandfather’s little grocery store in humble Illinois where he used the chopping blocks to cut beef on and pork and different kinds of meats. And now in my current day kitchen, I still continue to use John Boos products for their versatility. And they are not only beautiful to sit out on your counter, but there’s a lot of the chopping blocks that I like to use. We have a large family, a lot of grandkids, have a lot of family dinners that I continue to use them. Commercial kitchens interview. My name is Niall Campbell, executive chef and owner here at Firefly Grill in Illinois. You know, when opening Firefly we started the relationship with Boos we found that we wanted to bring in as much as the community had to offer. The outside of the building is all old barns from the area. And in utilizing that we decided we were going to go with all table tops from Boos just because the wood is so beautiful. But more than anything it’s about the durability, especially on the dining room table. Each table sees hundreds of thousands of people through its lifetime. Those tables need to stand up to the test of time. We always found with the wooden cutting boards that they maintain much better. So when we built Firefly, we decided that we were going to actually use them right in our prep station. So where you’d normally see poly, we have the NSF cutting boards on our lines. It makes for a huge difference. The guys are able to work steady throughout the night cutting, cleaning, and producing straight through the evening.

When you’re getting year after year, quality timber from the same area, you’re doing something right. If you’re looking at it and the bottom limbs are starting to die off, that tree is ready to be cut. You manage the timber. You take the trees out that need cut. In turn the little ones, the saplings and the seedlings, trees that are coming up, they just take off. There is always new growth. I respect the wood. I really do. I don’t like to see it wasted, or pushed away. There’s a lot of pride in that stuff. When we start out with a board, we plane it, we’ve ripped it. The scrap goes into the chipper and it is ground into sawdust which blows into the silo. We have a wood burning boiler which in turn generates steam. We use that steam in our glue press, and we use that steam for heating the factory, and we use that steam for drying lumber in our kilns. John Boos & Co., we have done this since I’ve been with the company. I’ve been with the company for 40 years. Nothing goes in the trash can. If we have excess sawdust that we don’t need, we sell it to the local farmers. If they have 300 to 400 head of dairy cattle and they need a lot of bedding, it works out really well. It’s dry. They’re using it for fertilizer and it ends up back on the field. Nothing goes to waste there. It all gets recycled.
