John Boos Countertop Collection Maple Cutting Board 1-1/4"Tx17-1/4"Wx17-3/4"D, -KNEB17

Near-Square Dimensions And A Stabilizing Lip

This John Boos Countertop Collection cutting board is a solid maple prep surface measuring 1-1/4 inches thick, 17-1/4 inches wide, and 17-3/4 inches deep, built with a lip that holds it in place during use.

Key Features

• Solid maple construction provides a dense, close-grained surface that handles regular knife work without excessive wear.
• Near-square 17-1/4 by 17-3/4 inch footprint gives generous prep area without extending far past the cabinet edge.
• 1-1/4 inch thickness adds heft that keeps the board from shifting under pressure.
• Integrated lip hooks over the countertop or cabinet edge to anchor the board during chopping and slicing.
• Part of the John Boos Countertop Collection, a coordinated line of maple prep surfaces designed for kitchen integration.

A Stable Surface for Active Prep Work

The lip on this board is the feature that changes how it performs in daily use. Hooked over a countertop edge or a cabinet pull-out ledge, the board stays put when force is applied, so you are not chasing the board across the counter while breaking down vegetables or carving. The near-square shape works well for tasks that need side-to-side range as much as front-to-back depth, such as rolling dough, breaking down a head of cabbage, or working through a pile of herbs. At roughly 17 inches in both directions, it fits neatly into a standard base cabinet pull-out or occupies a dedicated countertop station without crowding adjacent workspace.

Maple, Built to Last in a Kitchen

Maple is a standard choice for cutting boards because its tight grain resists deep scoring and keeps a workable surface through years of regular use. John Boos constructs this board from maple at 1-1/4 inches thick, which puts meaningful mass under the blade and gives the board the kind of stability that thinner boards cannot offer. The Countertop Collection finish state is ready to accept board oil, and keeping the maple conditioned will extend the surface life significantly. Apply a food-contact-appropriate board oil periodically rather than submerging or running through a dishwasher.

Where This Board Fits

This size suits a kitchen where a compact, self-anchoring prep surface is more useful than a large butcher block. A homeowner fitting out a modest countertop run, a designer specifying a pull-out prep station, or a cabinet shop building a kitchen with an integrated prep zone will all find the dimensions practical. The lip makes it a particularly good choice for a pull-out application, where the board can hook over the front rail of a roll-out shelf and stay anchored as the cook works. For a kitchen that needs a larger surface or an end-grain board, John Boos offers additional sizes and constructions in the same collection.
