John Boos RA Series Maple Board

Yes, this board is NSF-approved, meaning it meets rigorous standards for sanitation and safety in professional culinary environments.

Yes, it arrives pre-treated with a food-safe wax finish, so you can start prepping ingredients immediately without needing to oil it first.

To keep the maple in top condition, you should regularly apply food-grade mineral oil or a specialized wood cream. This prevents the wood from drying out and keeps the surface sealed against moisture.

At 2.25 inches thick and weighing over 12 pounds, this board provides significant mass. It is designed to remain stable on your countertop during heavy-duty tasks like chopping or dicing.

Yes, the board features a reversible design. You can use both sides for food preparation, which effectively doubles the usable surface area and helps the board wear evenly over time.

No, the edge-grain construction of North American Hardrock Maple is specifically chosen because it is gentle on knife edges. It provides a firm surface that absorbs impact rather than resisting it, helping your blades stay sharp longer.
