The John Boos CB Series 18×10.5 Inch Maple Cutting Board is a slightly narrower take on the standard 18×12, with rounded edges that give the board a softer hand-feel against the user’s body when working at the counter. The juice groove on one face catches carving runoff, and the smooth flip side handles general prep when the groove isn’t needed.
Use it as a primary kitchen cutting board for cooks who want a slightly slimmer profile than the 18×12, a roast-carving board, a Thanksgiving turkey board, a workhorse everyday prep surface, and any application where the rounded edges add comfort the squared-off boards lack. The 1.5-inch thickness and 8-pound weight hit the same sweet spot of substance against ease of handling that the standard 18×12 reaches for.
John Boos has been hand-crafting butcher blocks in Effingham, Illinois since 1887 — the company that supplied butcher blocks to the original Chicago meat-packing district. Every Boos board is made from sustainably-sourced Northern hard maple and finished in food-safe Boos Block Cream.
