John Boos Butcherblock Backsplash 4"H x 108"L x 3/4"T Hard Maple, RS108-O

John Boos Butcher Block Maple Backsplash Use

John Boos butcher block backsplash gives a finished edge transition where a butcher block countertop meets a wall over a long run. This hard maple 4 inch high piece helps visually tie the top into the wall line and defines the working depth of the counter. The 108 inch length suits long installations in kitchens or work areas needing a continuous maple edge. The 3/4 inch thickness provides a substantial wood face that visually matches typical butcher block construction. Being part of the John Boos butcher block line, this backsplash is designed to coordinate with their Northern hard maple countertops, so the color and grain character work together across the installation. Professional shops and serious DIY users can use this sized piece to finish a long straight run without breaking the visual line.

Key Maple Backsplash Details For Projects

• The backsplash is 4 inches high, creating a defined vertical surface that covers the wall joint above the countertop and gives a consistent finished edge height along the entire run.
• The length is 108 inches, allowing a single piece to span long countertops so there are fewer joints to align during layout and glue-up along the wall side.
• The thickness is 3/4 inch, giving enough material for a solid profile that visually relates to butcher block tops while still being practical to handle and position during installation.
• The backsplash is made from hard maple, so it matches the wood species used in John Boos butcher block tops and keeps the grain and color consistent across the work surface and back edge.
• The product is part of the John Boos butcher block family, allowing fabricators to pair it with matching maple countertops for a coordinated appearance across multiple sections of a project.

Backsplash Fit With Maple Butcher Block Tops

This hard maple backsplash is sized to work alongside John Boos countertops that are 1-1/2 inches thick and 25 inches deep. The 4 inch height lines up visually above the 25 inch depth, creating a proportioned back edge along the wall side of the counter. The 3/4 inch thickness contrasts with the 1-1/2 inch thick tops, giving a clear separation between working surface and vertical return. Because both parts use Northern hard maple hardwood, the joint where the countertop meets the backsplash can present a unified look once aligned and finished. Installers can plan wall and cabinet layouts knowing this backsplash dimension is intended to coordinate with those standard John Boos maple tops.

Using The RS108-O Backsplash In Real Projects

Where This 4 x 108 Maple Backsplash Fits

The RS108-O backsplash is intended for use with John Boos maple butcher block countertops in the wood countertops category. At 108 inches long, it suits extended counter runs where a continuous maple back edge is required along a wall. The 4 inch height helps cover the joint where the 25 inch deep countertop meets the wall plane, so it fits well behind work surfaces in kitchens, prep areas, or woodworking shop benches built around butcher block. Because it is constructed from Northern hard maple hardwood, this piece fits visually in projects where that same species is already used for tops, creating a unified installation across the work area.

Why The Mineral Oil Finish And Construction Matter

John Boos butcher block tops are constructed of high quality Northern hard maple hardwood, kiln dried for low moisture content and electrostatically glued with moisture resistant urea resin adhesive, and this backsplash is part of that same butcher block line. Kiln drying for low moisture content stabilizes the wood as it acclimates in typical indoor environments, which matters when aligning a long 108 inch backsplash against a wall. The moisture resistant urea resin adhesive supports the laminated butcher block construction, so the bonded segments work as a single unit across the full length. Tops have been finished with mineral oil to seal the wood fibers and to bring out the warm rich colors of the grain, and the backsplash shares that oil finished appearance for a consistent look. Tops can be retreated with mineral oil as needed, which allows ongoing maintenance of the wood surface appearance across both countertop and backsplash. This consistent construction approach helps installers and fabricators create a continuous, coordinated butcher block assembly from horizontal top to vertical back edge.
