John Boos Cutting Boards
Maple R-Board Cutting Board 24" x 18" (R02)
Northern hard rock maple, edge-grain, 1.5 inches thick and reversible. The NSF-certified board pro kitchens use, made in Effingham, Illinois since 1887. Wood and food-safe oil, nothing else.
Good to know: At 18 lbs it stays put on the counter. Needs periodic oiling with board cream.

Why we picked it
John Boos has made butcher blocks in Illinois since 1887, and pro kitchens cut on them daily. This is hard rock maple, edge-grain, an inch and a half thick, at eighteen pounds heavy enough that it never walks across the counter mid-chop. Wood self-heals shallow scars and is measurably kinder to knife edges. Oil it monthly and both sides work for decades.
