Solid Maple Cutting Surface

The John Boos R-Board R01 is a reversible maple cutting board measuring 18 x 12 x 1.5 inches. Its edge-grain construction provides a stable, level surface for slicing cured meat, fruit, bread, vegetables and cheese. Recessed finger grips on each side allow secure handling during prep or when moving the board to the table for serving.

Fits Countertop Prep Zones

The rectangular footprint sits flat on standard kitchen counters without overhang, leaving room beside it for bowls, knives or a scale. At 1.5 inches thick the board stays in place while you chop, and the reversible design means you can dedicate one face to raw proteins and the other to ready-to-eat foods without buying a second board. Hand-wash only care keeps the oil finish intact.

Stable Under Daily Chopping

The 10-pound mass absorbs knife impact so the board does not shift during repetitive slicing or heavy cleaver work. Edge-grain maple resists deep scoring better than softer woods, preserving a smooth surface through extended sessions. Regular treatment with food-grade oil and board cream maintains fiber integrity and prevents the wood from drying out under sustained kitchen use.

Questions about this item

How long will the 1.5-inch edge-grain maple surface resist deep knife grooves under daily chopping?

The 1.5-inch thick edge-grain maple construction distributes blade pressure across the grain direction, slowing groove formation during sustained daily use.

Does the 10-lb board stay cool and quiet during all-day prep sessions?

Solid maple absorbs minimal heat from food and produces no mechanical noise; the board remains at room temperature and silent throughout extended use.

What maintenance products do I need on hand before the first use?

Boos Block Mystery Oil and Board Cream are recommended for regular conditioning; both are sold separately and should be applied per the care guide.
