Solid Beech Bread Board 37x24 cm – Removable Crumb Tray and Knife Storage Drawer

This solid beech bread board measures 37 x 24 cm and has two features that make everyday kitchen tasks easier: a removable crumb-catching tray that slides beneath the cutting surface, and a knife storage drawer built in beneath the board. The beech cutting surface naturally resists knife marks and is neutral in taste, so it does not transfer flavours to bread or other foods cut on it.

Versatile enough for slicing bread, presenting an assortment of cheeses and charcuterie, or preparing toast and sandwiches. Its 37x24 cm size accommodates a country loaf or a baguette cut in half.

Key points

✓ Removable tray – catches crumbs and slides out for emptying and cleaning

✓ 37x24 cm size – suitable for a country loaf, a short baguette or a sliced loaf
✓ 3 functions – chopping, catching crumbs and storing knives in one item

Tips for use

Remove the crumb-catching tray and empty the crumbs after each use to prevent residue attracting insects. When serving cheese or charcuterie, wipe the surface with a damp cloth between different foods to prevent flavours transferring. The knife storage drawer can hold 1 or 2 knives, depending on their size.

Care

Wipe the cutting surface with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn stains (oily cheese or tomato), rub with half a lemon and a pinch of coarse salt – a gentle abrasive that cleans without scratching. Never immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. Oil the surface 2 to 3 times a year with food-safe oil to keep the beech conditioned and limit cracking.

WoodUp tip

To preserve the cutting surface for longer, use a sharp bread knife with a steady sawing motion rather than an aggressively toothed knife that tears the wood. Knife marks fade with light sanding using 220-grit paper followed by oiling – beech is easy to restore.

Before you buy: the knife storage drawer is designed for standard-length knives (blades up to approximately 30 cm). Bread knives with very thick handles or protruding hand guards may not fit – check your knife’s dimensions before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Is the crumb-catching tray easy to clean?

Yes. The tray slides out from beneath the cutting board. Empty the crumbs into the bin, then clean it with soapy water and a soft brush. Let it dry before replacing it to prevent moisture lingering beneath the board.

Is beech hygienic for cutting bread?

Yes. Solid beech naturally has mild antibacterial properties – bacteria enter tiny fissures in the grain but become dehydrated there. For the best hygiene, clean after each use and oil regularly to seal the wood’s pores. Avoid using cracked boards where bacteria could accumulate.

Can this board be used as an all-purpose chopping board?

Yes, for light chopping – bread, cheese, fruit and soft vegetables. For heavy-duty chopping, such as raw meat or hard vegetables every day, a dedicated thick chopping board is more suitable: it absorbs impacts better and is easier to restore by sanding.

How can I restore a cutting surface marked by knives?

Sand the surface along the grain with 120-grit sandpaper, then finish with 220-grit paper. Wipe away the dust and apply a coat of food-safe oil. This can be done 2 or 3 times over the board’s lifetime – beech restores well.

How many knives can the drawer hold?

The knife storage drawer is designed to hold a bread knife and 1 or 2 additional knives, depending on their size. If you have a large bread knife with a very thick handle, check that it will fit within the height of the drawer.
