The John Boos R-Board Collection CHY-R01 is a solid cherry wood cutting board sized at 18 inches deep by 12 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches thick, made for everyday cutting, slicing, and food prep on the countertop.
Cherry is a closed-grain hardwood that sits in a practical middle ground: harder than walnut but gentler on blade edges than maple. The surface takes a knife cleanly and holds up through repeated use without splintering or raising grain quickly. The warm reddish-brown tone deepens over time, so a cherry board that sees daily use develops character rather than just showing wear. At 18 by 12 inches, there is enough real estate to work a full chicken, a large head of cabbage, or a generous loaf of bread without the food overhanging the edges.
The R-Board is solid cherry throughout, milled to a 1-1/2 inch thickness that gives the board enough mass to stay put without a mat underneath. That thickness also means the surface can be resurfaced if it develops deep grooves over years of heavy use. To keep the wood in good condition, apply a food-contact-appropriate board oil or board cream on a regular schedule, especially when the surface begins to look dry. Hand-wash and dry promptly; do not soak or machine-wash a wood cutting board.
This board suits a home cook who wants a substantial, good-looking prep surface that holds up over time, a designer specifying a cherry-forward kitchen where the board coordinates with cabinetry or countertop tones, or a cabinet shop outfitting a kitchen package and looking for a prep board that matches the wood palette. The 18 by 12 footprint is large enough to function as a primary prep board but compact enough to slide into a pull-out tray or a dedicated board slot in a drawer organizer when not in use.
Cherry is a closed-grain hardwood that resists moisture absorption better than open-grain woods and is easy on knife edges. It is a widely used and well-regarded cutting board species for residential kitchens.
It is 1-1/2 inches thick, which gives the board enough weight to sit steadily on the counter and enough material depth to allow resurfacing if needed later.
The source does not specify a reversible design for this model. Treat the primary face as the working surface and refer to John Boos care guidelines for this board.
The source does not confirm a pre-applied finish for this SKU. Condition the board with a food-safe board oil before first use and maintain it regularly.
The John Boos R-Board in cherry delivers a stable, attractive work surface that fits the scale of a real prep session and coordinates naturally with wood-forward kitchen designs.
