John Boos Butcherblock Backsplash 4"H x 12"L x 3/4"T Hard Maple, RS12-O

John Boos Butcher Block Backsplash For Maple Tops

John Boos butcher block backsplash gives a 4 inch high hard maple edge that finishes the back of a countertop run, which helps create a clean transition where the top meets the wall. This backsplash piece is 12 inches long, so it suits short runs, narrow cabinet sections, or can be lined up with other lengths from the same series for longer stretches. The 3/4 inch thickness matches the described backsplash spec, allowing a substantial wood edge that pairs visually with butcher block tops. Northern hard maple construction provides a solid hardwood surface along the back of the counter, which supports a consistent material look on jobs using maple butcher block. The piece is part of the John Boos butcher block line, so it is intended to work aesthetically with their 1-1/2 inch thick, 25 inch deep maple countertops in the same program.

Backsplash Details That Support Countertop Work

• The 4 inch high backsplash rises above the countertop surface, which helps create a defined wood border where the top meets adjacent walls on cabinet or workbench runs.
• The 12 inch length provides a short, manageable piece that fits smaller cabinet sections or fills gaps along a run, which helps layout flexibility when combining multiple sections.
• The 3/4 inch thickness matches the specified backsplash dimension, which gives a substantial edge profile that visually complements thicker butcher block countertops.
• Northern hard maple hardwood is used for construction, which provides a solid wood surface that aligns with maple butcher block tops on the same installation.
• The piece is part of the John Boos butcher block program, which supports a consistent look when paired with their 1-1/2 inch thick, 25 inch deep countertops.

Oil Finished Maple Backsplash Installation Context

This hard maple backsplash is 4 inches high and 3/4 inch thick, so it is sized to sit on top of, or directly behind, compatible butcher block countertops along a wall interface. The 12 inch length works well at the end of a run or behind a short cabinet section, which simplifies layout around corners or appliances. Because it is finished with mineral oil, the surface arrives sealed along the wood fibers, which supports a consistent feel with John Boos butcher block tops finished the same way. The mineral oil finish can be retreated with mineral oil as needed, which helps keep the backsplash surface aligned in appearance and feel with adjoining maple countertops over time.

Where This Maple Backsplash Fits In The Job

4 Inch High Backsplash For Countertop Runs

The 4 inch high profile places this RS12-O backsplash directly in the common height range used behind butcher block countertops, which helps create a unified visual band along the wall. Its 12 inch length means it can be positioned where shorter coverage is needed, such as beside a range opening or at the end of a base cabinet. Being 3/4 inch thick, the piece gives enough depth for a solid wood reveal above the top surface, which many installers use to visually frame the working counter area. Northern hard maple construction, described as kiln dried for low moisture content in the John Boos butcher block program, supports dimensional stability that complements adjoining tops in typical interior woodworking environments.

Oil Finish And Matching John Boos Countertops

The backsplash is described with an oil finish and is part of the same line as John Boos butcher block tops that have been finished with mineral oil, which helps the backsplash blend in color and sheen with those countertops on day one. The mineral oil treatment seals the wood fibers on the tops, and the backsplash is identified with the same oil-finished description, which supports a continuous appearance where the two surfaces meet. Tops in this line can be retreated with mineral oil as needed, and maintaining the backsplash with mineral oil in the same way helps the back edge age and deepen in tone at a similar rate. Using this RS12-O maple piece alongside the 1-1/2 inch thick, 25 inch deep John Boos countertops from the same program creates a coordinated butcher block assembly across the work surface and rear edge.
