Solid Maple. Serious Performance.
The RA01 is milled from antimicrobial Northern Hard Rock Maple, one of the densest domestic hardwoods available. At 2-1/4 inches thick, it delivers a stable, knife-friendly platform that resists warping and wear through years of daily use.
- Antimicrobial Hard Rock Maple naturally inhibits bacteria
- 2-1/4" thick edge-grain construction for superior durability
- Finished with Boos Block Cream with Beeswax for lasting protection
Two Surfaces. One Board.
Recessed hand grips on each end make flipping the board effortless, giving you a clean surface whenever you need it. Ideal for separating proteins and produce, or simply starting fresh mid-prep.
- Reversible design doubles usable cutting area
- Recessed finger grips on both ends for secure handling
- Available in four sizes to fit any prep station
Craftsmanship You Can See
Every edge of the RA01 is finished to a smooth, precise profile. The tight edge-grain pattern is gentler on knife edges than end-grain alternatives and provides a consistent, flat surface for precise slicing and chopping.
- Edge-grain orientation protects knife blades and edges
- Tightly fitted boards minimize gaps for safer food prep
- American-made by John Boos since 1887
