I think 24 inches is perfect. I also put my big cutting mat on the big board when I do a lot of cutting. I have plenty of room to unfold my fabric and no back aches from bending. The extra width is invaluable when pressing backing. I covered my big board with that silvery stuff so I can wipe it down if I get glue or starch build up all over. Mine is homemade like AZ Jane described. I bought the entire piece of plywood and made one for a friend.
