Cherry board with a sloped crumb well
An edge-grain cherry board, 500 x 300 x 32mm, with two maple pinstripes and a shallow well carved into one end whose floor slopes 12mm down toward the end wall. Sweep chopped onion or bread crumbs down the slope and they gather in the well instead of skittering across the counter, then tip straight into the pan; a coved finger lift under the far end picks it up off a flat worktop.
Passes Crava's checks for fit, strength and stability. Change any size, the wood or the finish in the app, and it is checked again.
