This John Boos CCB Series cutting board is an 18-inch round, 4-inch thick maple chopping block designed for serious prep work at the kitchen counter or a dedicated carving station.
An 18-inch round is the right reach for breaking down a whole roast, carving a bird at the table, or working through a multi-ingredient prep session without running out of surface. The circular shape is especially practical when you are carving and want to rotate the board to keep the juices contained or to bring a clean section of maple under the knife. At 4 inches thick, this board does not shift or flex — it behaves more like a block than a board, which suits tasks where a standard thin board would skid or bow under impact.
Northern hard maple is the standard for professional cutting surfaces because its tight grain resists scoring and the wood is hard enough to maintain a clean face through regular use. Edge-grain construction runs the wood fibers along the cutting surface, which is the traditional format for a board that will see daily knife work. Maple in this construction is also easier on knife edges than end-grain alternatives, which is a relevant consideration if the board will see fine knives as well as heavy cleavers. The board's natural color and grain pattern will develop character over time; regular oiling with a food-safe board oil keeps the wood conditioned and extends the working life of the surface.
This board suits homeowners who want a serious prep surface rather than a decorative slab, cooks who carve and portion frequently at the counter, and kitchen designers specifying a dedicated work surface for a kitchen island or butcher area. The round format also makes it a practical carving board for table service. Cabinet shops and designers specifying this board for a kitchen project should confirm counter depth, since an 18-inch round occupies a meaningful footprint on a standard 24-inch cabinet run.
It is hard maple, the standard species for John Boos cutting surfaces in this series.
John Boos ships CCB Series boards unfinished so the end user can apply their preferred food-safe board oil before first use. Regular oiling is part of the board's maintenance routine.
It depends on the task. The round format lets you rotate the board to a fresh section or to keep juices on one side, which is an advantage for carving. For long cuts or prep work that uses the full board length, a rectangular format can be more practical.
Solid wood cutting boards should not go in a dishwasher. Hand-wash and dry promptly, then oil regularly to maintain the surface.
Choose this John Boos maple chopping block when the task calls for a stable, heavy-duty round surface that handles carving, portioning, and daily prep with equal authority.
