A Reversible Maple Cutting Board for Professional Prep Work

This John Boos Chop-N-Slice board brings a solid maple prep surface to kitchens and woodshops alike, offering a thick, durable work platform sized to handle everyday cutting tasks without taking over the counter.

Key Features

• Solid maple construction delivers a dense, tight-grained surface that holds up to repeated knife work.
• Reversible design gives you two usable faces, extending the working life of the board.
• NSF certified meets commercial food-service sanitation standards.
• 1-1/4 inch thickness provides stability and resists warping through daily use.
• Rectangular 18 by 12 inch format offers generous prep room while fitting standard countertop depths.

Built for the Work Surface, Not Just the Display

The Chop-N-Slice series is a workhorse line, designed for kitchens where the cutting board earns its keep every day. The 18 by 12 inch footprint gives enough room to break down vegetables, slice bread, or prep proteins without constantly repositioning. Because the board is reversible, wear distributes across both faces rather than concentrating on one side, so the surface stays flat and usable longer. The NSF certification means it meets the sanitation requirements used in commercial food service, which makes it equally at home in a residential kitchen that sees serious volume.

Maple, at a Meaningful Thickness

Hard maple is one of the standard choices for cutting boards precisely because it is dense enough to resist deep scoring but gentle enough not to dull a knife edge prematurely. At 1-1/4 inches thick, this board has the mass to sit steady on the counter without sliding around under a heavy chop, and the depth to take refinishing if the surface eventually shows wear. The board ships ready for use; applying a board oil or board cream periodically keeps the maple conditioned and helps the surface last. John Boos board care products are sold separately.

Where It Fits

This board suits a working kitchen where the prep volume justifies a professional-grade surface, a cabinetmaker's shop where a clean cutting surface is needed for sample or template work, or a design showroom specifying a coordinated kitchen package. It is also a practical upgrade for a kitchen island or prep station where a dedicated cutting zone makes workflow smoother. For applications that need a larger footprint or greater thickness, the Chop-N-Slice series includes other sizes.

A Prep Surface That Holds Up Over Time

Choose this board when the kitchen sees real daily prep volume and the surface needs to keep pace, with an NSF-rated maple face that stays flat, cleans up easily, and can be refinished when the work eventually shows.
