Maple Cutting Board With Lip for Countertop Use

This John Boos Countertop Collection maple cutting board pairs a substantial work surface with a built-in lip that anchors it at the countertop edge, keeping the board in place during active prep work.

Key Features

• Maple construction provides a dense, tight-grained surface that holds up to heavy daily cutting.
• Built-in lip locks the board against the countertop edge so it stays put while you work.
• Generous work surface at 23-3/4 inches deep by 17-1/4 inches wide gives ample room for large cuts.
• 1-1/4 inch thickness adds rigidity and weight so the board does not shift or flex under a chef's knife.
• Rectangular profile fits naturally alongside a sink or over a drawer pull-out for an integrated countertop station.

A Cutting Surface Built Around the Way Countertops Work

Most cutting boards sit on a countertop and migrate toward the user during prep. The lip on this board changes that dynamic: it catches the front edge of the countertop and holds the board in position, so the board does not creep while you are working through a pile of vegetables or breaking down a larger cut of meat. The work area itself runs nearly 24 inches front to back, which is enough depth to handle a full head of cabbage or a generous roast without hanging over the edge of the board.

Maple That Earns Its Place on the Counter

John Boos built its reputation on hard maple, and the Countertop Collection applies that same material standard to a board designed to live on the counter rather than be pulled from a drawer. Maple is dense and close-grained, which means it resists deep scoring from knife edges and stays relatively flat over time compared with softer woods. The 1-1/4 inch body gives the board enough mass to sit steady without clamping or matting. Apply a food-grade board oil or cream finish periodically to condition the wood and extend the surface life.

Where This Board Belongs

This is the right board for a cook who wants a dedicated prep station at a fixed counter location rather than a board that comes out for one task and goes back in a drawer. It suits a kitchen with an open counter run where the lip can hook the front edge, a prep area beside a sink, or a countertop where the depth is deep enough to accommodate the 23-3/4 inch footprint. Cabinet shops building custom kitchen packages can specify this board as a countertop prep accessory to complete a work-station layout. The rectangular format and countertop depth make it a natural fit alongside a pull-out cutting system or over a base cabinet opening.
