Cutting board with a slide-out scrap tray
A raised maple chopping board, 460 x 340mm, standing on two long skirts, with a walnut-fronted tray that slides out from under the open end. Push peelings and trimmings off the edge straight into the tray instead of chasing them across the counter, then carry the tray to the compost; it slides back under the board, so the whole set takes no more counter than the board alone.
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.
