Overview

The John Boos R-Board Series Rectangular Maple Cutting Board delivers a substantial, kitchen-friendly work surface designed for serious home cooks. Measuring 24" by 18" and a robust 1.5" thick, this solid maple block sits as a confident platform that weighs about 18 pounds, offering stability during heavy chopping and slicing. The edge-grain construction creates a smooth, even surface that supports a wide range of tasks—from slicing cured meat and crusty bread to dicing fresh fruit and crisp vegetables. With a thoughtfully finished edge and a level cutting surface, your knives will glide with precision, and the board’s natural warmth can complement a variety of ingredients and cutting techniques.

Built for home kitchens, this model provides reversible surfaces, so you can assign one side to protein prep and the other to produce or delicate items. Recessed finger grips add confident handling when you move or carry the board between counter and prep area. The oil finish preserves the wood’s beauty while inviting comfortable use and ongoing care as part of your routine maintenance.
