"R" Boards are hearty, heirloom quality boards that measure 1.5 inches thick. Each "R" board features sleek edge grain construction, resulting in a modern linear grain pattern. John Boos products are designed to meet the demanding expectations of commercial kitchens, and exceed the highest level of quality and food safety standards. Each board and block is made from sustainably harvested North American hardwoods, and offers a commercial grade cutting surface that protects the sharp edge on fine cutlery. Often imitated, John Boos and Co. is internationally known for its expertise in crafting American hardwoods into products of beauty, durability and function. Simple board care can ensure this heirloom, handcrafted board is a favorite in your kitchen for years to come. Every John Boos Board and Block comes with a food safe natural oil finish that helps protect the wood during transit. Once a month, apply an even coat of NSF Approved John Boos Mystery Oil (sold separately), and allow it to soak in overnight. Repeat this process more often when the board is brand new and “thirsty,” or if you live in a dry, arid climate. John Boos recommends applying John Boos Board Cream (also sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface after applying the Mystery Oil. A few quick minutes of regular oil application will ensure your new board is properly seasoned, and ready for work! After use, wash board with warm, soapy water (all wooden cutting boards are not dishwasher safe and should not be soaked in water). Since 1887, every genuine John Boos cutting board and butcher block has been proudly made in Effingham, Illinois by skilled craftspeople using time honored techniques. Today, USA made John Boos cutting boards and butcher blocks are used and loved in commercial and home kitchens worldwide. ## Features - Solid Wooden Cutting Board: Elevate your food prep with a John Boos R-Board series wood cutting board.

This one would not be safe to use as it is not possible to clean properly. It was our first purchase from this company and it was a bit disappointing as we expected a better quality control. Gladly a replacement is on the way. Also, as was noticed by other users - the board looked very dry, so season it well before the usage.Update: the replacement was with some defects too. It will be returned. The quality is very disappointing, I’m not a client of JB anymore. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy bueno *by on Reviewed in Spain 17 May 2026* muy buen producto ,poco mas que decir.Tambien decir que no bienen tan secas como dicen en algunos comentarios o tan asperas como dicen otros . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warning: these boards are *THIRSTY* *by on Reviewed in Canada 26 July 2022* These chopping boards arrive parched. I bought a bottle of cutting board oil, used the whole thing on mine within a few days and then had to buy another. I'm halfway through the second, much larger bottle (see photo) with no end in sight. I slather my board in oil and a few hours later it has totally absorbed. It's been a couple of weeks since I purchased it, and I'm still oiling it several times a day. I'm waiting to see if it ever gets to a point where it has had enough. Lol. The cherry wood is changing as it rehydrates and has darkened and become even more beautiful. Based upon how much oil mine is drinking, I think I understand why people are experiencing cracks. I also notice that one part of the board is much drier than the others. If you're not willing to oil yours like crazy, several times a day, for a few weeks before you start using it, this might not be the board for you. The wood arrives very dry and the moisture content between the pieces of wood seems uneven, based upon now they are absorbing oil at different rates of speed. If you live in a dry climate, once you remove it from the plastic wrap, this is only going to get worse without proper care.This board will last you, but it's going to need some serious TLC in the beginning, before you can rely on it. I'm kind of enjoying watching this process unfold, but I can see how people who (understandably) just want a cutting board to use upon arrival will be disappointed. ## Frequently Bought Together - John Boos Block R-Board Reversible Wood Cutting Board, 18"x12"x1.5", Cherry - John Boos MYSB Mystery Butcher Block Oil, 16 Ounce Bottle - John Boos Block Board Cream - Wood Chopping Board Food Safe Natural Conditioner --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/543780959-john-boos-block-chy-r01-cherry-wood-edge-grain-reversible](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/543780959-john-boos-block-chy-r01-cherry-wood-edge-grain-reversible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
