John Boos Cutting Board For Serious Kitchen Prep Work

The John Boos RA-Board Collection CHY-RA02 is a solid cherry wood cutting board built for active kitchen use, measuring 20 inches deep by 15 inches wide by 2-1/4 inches thick and suited for home kitchens, culinary studios, and professional prep environments alike.

Key Features

• Solid cherry wood construction offers a close-grained surface that is naturally gentle on knife edges.
• 2-1/4 inch thickness provides substantial mass to anchor the board during heavy chopping and slicing tasks.
• 20 by 15 inch footprint gives ample prep area for large cuts without overtaking a standard countertop run.
• Rectangular shape works across a variety of prep stations and fits neatly alongside standard countertop appliances.
• Part of the RA-Board Collection from John Boos, a recognized name in professional-grade cutting surfaces.

A Surface Built Around the Work

Cherry is a hardwood with a tight, consistent grain that sits in a useful middle range: hard enough to resist deep scoring from a knife, but forgiving enough that blades do not dull against the surface the way they might on a harder end-grain block. The 20-by-15 footprint handles a full head of cabbage, a large roast, or a generous bread loaf without crowding the workspace. At 2-1/4 inches thick, the board stays planted under pressure, so it does not skate across the counter during a firm cut.

Cherry Wood and What It Brings to the Counter

Cherry has a warm, reddish-brown tone that deepens with age and use, and its close grain takes a finish well. The RA-Board Collection boards are supplied ready for conditioning with a food-appropriate board oil, which should be applied before first use and periodically thereafter to maintain the surface and prevent drying or cracking. The solid wood construction means the board can be resurfaced if the face develops deep scoring over years of use, which extends its working life well beyond a plastic or composite alternative.

Where This Board Works Best

This is a board for a cook who treats the prep surface as a tool rather than a throwaway item. It suits a kitchen renovation where the countertop will see daily cooking, a culinary workspace where board quality matters to the work, or a cabinetry project where the cutting surface is being specified alongside pull-outs and organizers as part of a complete kitchen build. Cabinet shops fitting out kitchen packages and designers specifying a full accessory set will find this board pairs naturally with other John Boos surfaces in the RA-Board Collection.
