This John Boos CCB Series cutting board is an 18-inch square maple chopping block built at 2-1/4 inches thick, made for kitchen workspaces where a substantial, stable cutting surface is the priority.
An 18-inch square board covers the prep demands of a working kitchen: breaking down whole chickens, slicing through a dense squash, blocking out pastry. The generous square format means the cook is not constantly repositioning ingredients to keep them on the board. Because the surface is reversible, both faces stay in rotation, which evens out the wear from daily use. When one side picks up the grooves and staining that come with regular knife work, flip it over and continue.
John Boos has used hard maple in chopping block and cutting board production for well over a century. Maple is dense enough to resist deep cuts and tight-grained enough to close up around knife marks rather than splitting along the grain. The 2-1/4-inch slab thickness is not decorative; it gives the board the mass that keeps it from sliding under force and the depth that lets it be resurfaced if the surface eventually needs it. To maintain the surface and keep the wood conditioned, apply a board cream or food-grade mineral oil on a regular schedule. The board is not sealed at the factory, so initial oiling before first use is part of setup.
This is the right choice for a home cook who wants a professional-grade prep surface, a designer specifying kitchen accessories for a high-use kitchen, or a cabinet shop sourcing cutting boards to complete a kitchen build. The 18-inch square format suits a dedicated prep zone on an island or counter run where the board lives in one spot rather than being pulled in and out of a drawer. For kitchens with a tighter prep footprint, the CCB Series is available in smaller sizes. For a board that lives inside a cabinet pullout, confirm the depth against the cabinet opening before selecting.
John Boos boards ship unfinished from the factory. Oil the board with food-grade mineral oil or a board cream before first use and repeat the treatment regularly to keep the maple conditioned and prevent drying or cracking.
Yes. The 2-1/4-inch thickness gives enough material for light sanding or professional resurfacing if the face becomes heavily marked over time. Flip to the reverse side first to extend the time between resurfacing needs.
No. Wood cutting boards should be hand-washed and dried promptly. Dishwasher heat and prolonged water exposure will warp and crack even a thick maple board.
The CCB Series is the chopping block line, built at greater thickness than standard prep boards for added mass and longevity. Other series in the John Boos range are cut thinner and intended for lighter daily use.
Choose this board when the kitchen needs a stable, heavy-duty maple surface that handles serious daily prep and improves with proper care over time.
