This John Boos Gift Collection maple cutting board gives a kitchen prep station a solid, hardwood work surface sized at 18 inches deep by 12 inches wide and milled to 1-3/4 inches thick.
An 18-by-12-inch maple board covers enough area to break down a roast, prep a full vegetable spread, or carve a bird without crowding the cut. The juice groove runs along the perimeter to catch liquid as it travels off the meat or produce, keeping the counter dry and the prep space cleaner between steps. Maple is a classic board species for a reason: it is hard enough to resist deep scarring from a knife, and the closed grain does not trap food or harbor odor the way softer woods can.
John Boos mills this board from maple, a hardwood that has been the standard for butcher block and prep surfaces in professional kitchens for generations. At 1-3/4 inches thick, the board has the weight and rigidity of a serious work surface rather than a thin slab that flexes or slides. The rectangular format keeps the footprint practical: square on the counter, easy to store, and straightforward to condition with a board oil finish. Conditioning the surface with a food-contact-appropriate board oil is the right way to maintain maple; this keeps the wood from drying and cracking over time.
This board suits a kitchen where prep is a daily activity and the work surface needs to hold up, not just look good. It works as a dedicated carving or slicing board pulled out when a larger job calls for more room than a small board provides. It also stands up as a gift for someone outfitting a serious kitchen, which is the purpose the Gift Collection line is built around. Cabinet shops and designers specifying kitchen accessories for a client who wants a matched set of quality prep tools will find this board a natural complement to a hardwood-heavy kitchen build.
John Boos recommends conditioning new boards with a food-contact-appropriate board oil before first use. This seals the maple and helps the board resist drying. The oil is sold separately.
The groove runs along the board surface to channel runoff. The source data confirms the groove is present; if you need to know whether it appears on one face or both, the structured spec block or the manufacturer's documentation will have that detail.
Solid wood cutting boards are not dishwasher safe. Hand-wash with mild soap, dry promptly, and condition regularly with board oil to extend the life of the maple.
The Bun Feet Series is a line within the John Boos Gift Collection. This SKU is part of that series, though bun feet are not noted as included with this specific board in the available source data.
Choose this John Boos maple board when the prep load calls for a proper hardwood surface with room to work, a groove to handle the mess, and the build quality to stay in service for years.
