The History of John Boos & Co
In 1887, Effingham, Illinois blacksmith Conrad Boos used a Sycamore tree placed on three legs while hammering horseshoes. Three years later, a local butcher realized a wooden Boos Block could be used for cutting meat, and had one custom made. By 1911, John Boos & Co was shipping custom butcher blocks from coast to coast. Throughout the 20’s to 40’s, John Boos expanded and added tables and workbenches to their product range, the majority of which went to the war effort during WWII. By the 1940s, John Boos had earned their outstanding reputation for quality and craftsmanship, and their butcher blocks were found in every restaurant, food store and butcher shop in America. Today, the traditional craftsmen work ethic is still alive and well at John Boos, where all boards and butcher blocks are still proudly manufactured in Effingham, Illinois. Often imitated, John Boos boards and blocks are favorites of professional chefs and can be found in restaurants and commercial settings worldwide.
Committed to Environmental Integrity
John Boos’ Hardwood foresters follow professional best practices that mirror natural forces. Individual trees are selected for harvest, encouraging forests to renew and regenerate themselves naturally and prolifically. John Boos & Co. recycles 95% of all raw lumber scraps and sawdust which are used to generate electricity and create steam to fuel the boilers. John Boos sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for local agricultural needs.
Care and Maintenance
Keeping Your Board Sanitized:
Wash your John Boos cutting board with hot soapy water after each use and dry with a clean towel or let it air dry. For further sanitation, the board can be rinsed with a vinegar or chlorine bleach solution. (1 teaspoon bleach to one quart of water/5-to-1 ratio of vinegar to water) Do not soak the board in water, this will damage the wood. Like all natural wood cutting boards, John Boos boards are not intended for the dishwasher.
Maintaining Your Board:
Oil your cutting board on all surfaces every 3-4 weeks to maintain the original Boos block cream finish with beeswax. This quick task will protect and prolong the board’s life and ensure it is enjoyed for decades to come. John Boos recommends using John Boos Mystery Oil and/or John Boos Block Cream. (Sold separately on Amazon.)

Product Description
Bring home a culinary classic with a RA Board by John Boos. RA Boards are thick and hearty boards and measures an impressive 2.25 inches thick. Each RA 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.

As someone else pointed out in a review, you do need to give this board an initial treatment as you should with any higher-end cutting board. After a quick rinse, I did a good dose of Boo's board cream, but you can obviously use other brands. Once that dried I did a layer of oil and let that dry. This is about a two day process. Patience.
It makes all the difference in the world. It really helped enhance the color and smooth out the wood. Boards like this can arrive a bit crude/coarse and just need some TLC to get them started. You're not getting a better buy. Boards of this level are sometimes over double the price of this board. This isn't a situation of it being good for the price. This is an outstanding board.
This cutting board is beautiful, heavy duty and with so much surface area. Again, the color shines with a little TLC. As with knives, cutting boards at this level do require more care, so I definitely don't recommend this board if you don't want to take the time to care for it, and that's not a judgement, not everyone wants something that requires any maintenance.
I will say, after the initial setup, it doesn't require that much maintenance. Just follow basic wood cutting board rules like not submerging it water, not using harsh cleaning products or putting it in the dishwasher and you won't have any issues. You know it's time to give it some more board butter and oil if you drop some water drops on top and they don't immediately bead up and stay on top.
The CHY-RA03 is made out of solid American Cherry Wood. It's heart wood, no sap wood anywhere.
The craftsmanship is great with no gaps or splits between glued boards.
It was delivered in a well packed box with beefy and sturdy form fitting dense foam corner covers.
Save the packing corners to use to store this cutting board. It is big & heavy and the corners will get dinged up if not protected.
The John Boos Block CHY-RA03 Cutting Board will serve you well for many years if maintained properly.
I never mix meats and vegetables of course but I find this cutting adds more than just a roomy surface. It is really a satisfy prep surface. Easy to clean too!
