Solid Beech Bread Board 37x24cm – Removable Tray and Knife Storage Drawer
This bread board in solid beech measures 37 x 24 cm and incorporates two features that simplify everyday kitchen use: a removable crumb-catching tray that slides under the cutting surface, and an integrated knife storage drawer under the board. The beech cutting surface is naturally resistant to knife marks and flavour-neutral — no taste transfer onto bread or food being cut.
Versatile, it is equally suited to slicing bread, presenting an assortment of cheeses and cold meats, or preparing open sandwiches and filled rolls. The 37x24cm format is sized for a country loaf or a baguette cut in half.

Usage tips
Remove the crumb-catching tray and empty the crumbs after each use — this prevents residue that attracts insects. For cheeses or cold meats, wipe the surface with a damp cloth between different types of produce to avoid flavour transfer. The knife storage drawer can hold 1 to 2 knives depending on their size.
Care
Wipe the cutting surface with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn stains (fatty cheese, tomato), rub with half a lemon and a pinch of coarse salt — a gentle abrasive action that cleans without scratching. Never immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. Oil the surface 2 to 3 times a year with food-grade oil to keep the beech hydrated and limit cracking.
WoodUp tip
To preserve the cutting surface for longer, use a well-sharpened bread knife with a regular sawing motion rather than an aggressive serrated knife that tears the wood. Knife marks fade with a light sand using 220-grit paper followed by oiling — beech regenerates easily.
Important before purchasing: the knife storage drawer is designed for knives of standard blade length (up to approximately 30 cm blade). Bread knives with a very thick handle or a prominent bolster 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 under the cutting board. Empty the crumbs into the bin, then clean with soapy water using a soft brush. Leave to dry before replacing to avoid prolonged moisture under the board.
Is beech hygienic for cutting bread?
Yes. Solid beech naturally has slightly antibacterial properties — bacteria penetrate the micro-cracks in the grain but dry out within them. For optimal hygiene, clean after each use and oil regularly to close the wood's pores. Avoid cracked boards where bacteria could accumulate.
Can this board be used as a versatile chopping board?
Yes for light cutting — bread, cheese, fruit, tender vegetables. For intensive cutting (raw meat, daily hard vegetables), a dedicated thick chopping board is more suitable: it absorbs impacts better and regenerates more easily by sanding.
How to restore a cutting surface marked by knives?
Sand the surface with 120-grit sandpaper along the wood grain, then finish with 220-grit. Wipe away the dust and apply a coat of food-grade oil. This operation is carried out 2 to 3 times over the life of the board — beech regenerates well.
How many knives can the drawer hold?
The knife storage drawer is designed to hold the bread knife and 1 to 2 additional knives depending on their size. For a large bread knife with a very thick handle, check that the drawer height is compatible with your knife model.
