Long cherry charcuterie plank
A metre-long cherry grazing plank, 300mm wide and 22mm thick, with a rounded tab handle shaped into each end and two battens let into sliding dovetails underneath. The battens keep a long, thin board flat for years - glued only at their centres, they let the cherry move across its width without cupping or cracking - and lift it 15mm so fingers get under the tabs to carry a full spread down the middle of the table.
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.
