The John Boos CB Series 20×15 Inch Maple Cutting Board is a 1.5-inch-thick reversible board with a juice-catching groove cut around the perimeter of one face — the side faces up when carving roast meats, breaking down whole birds, or cutting fruit where the runoff would otherwise run onto the counter. Flip the board over for general prep work and the smooth side handles vegetables, bread, and cheese without the groove getting in the way.
Use it for carving Thanksgiving turkey, breaking down whole rotisserie chickens, slicing prime rib, cutting watermelon and citrus, and any cutting task where juice management beats the smooth-board alternative. The reversible design means one board covers both juice-groove and clean-surface jobs without storage space for two boards.
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.
