This John Boos CCB Series chopping block is a 4-inch-thick maple board sized 18 by 18 inches, built for cooks and woodworkers who need a stable, substantial work surface that can handle demanding prep without moving around.
A 4-inch-thick chopping block behaves differently from a thinner cutting board. The mass keeps the surface planted when breaking down large cuts, and the depth gives the board a long service life before any resurfacing is needed. The 18-by-18 square format is large enough for a whole chicken or a full melon, but compact enough to move off the counter when the task is done. For a dedicated butcher-block station in a kitchen, this board sits well over a base cabinet or on a heavy prep table and stays where it is placed.
John Boos has used Northern hard maple as the primary species for its chopping blocks for over a century. The wood is dense and tight-grained, which means the surface resists scarring better than softer species and does not open up to harbor residue the way a more porous wood would. The board should be oiled on a regular schedule with a food-safe board conditioner to keep the maple from drying out and to maintain the surface. John Boos board cream and board oil are available separately for maintenance.
Home cooks who prep serious volumes of food will get the most from this board: it is the size and weight class for a household that cooks daily rather than occasionally. Culinary students, personal chefs outfitting a residential kitchen, and woodworking shop owners who want a dedicated assembly or finishing surface all find the CCB Series useful. The 18-by-18 format fits neatly into a base cabinet well or over a drawer run as a built-in prep station. For lighter or more portable use, a thinner or smaller board in the same family is a better match.
The source data does not specify an applied finish for this SKU. John Boos CCB Series boards are typically supplied ready for an initial oiling before first use. Apply a food-safe board oil before putting the board into service.
The source data does not confirm reversibility for this SKU. Because both faces are maple, many users do work on either side, but the manufacturer's guidance for this specific model should be followed.
A solid maple block at 18 by 18 by 4 inches is a substantial piece of wood. Exact weight is not listed in the product data, but plan for this to be a stationary board rather than one you move frequently.
Yes. Its square footprint and flat base make it well suited as a portable prep station placed on a counter, island, or prep table. It is not designed for permanent countertop installation.
Choose this John Boos CCB Series board when the task calls for a thick, wide maple surface that stays put, handles daily prep, and improves with proper care over time.
