XL Cutting Board – Maple & Oak · 50 × 31 cm | side by side

SIDE BY SIDE · CUTTING BOARD XL50 × 31 cm maple and oak — for everyone who wants genuine room on a cutting board.A cutting board in maple and oak, 50 cm long, 31 cm wide and 6 cm high, 3.4 kg — designed by Andreas Ulbricht, awarded the Form 2003 design prize, and handcrafted at the Wendelstein Werkstätten and Caritas Werkstatt München. The generous surface gives real working space: meat, vegetables, bread, and accompaniments side by side without anything falling off the edge. The raised foot rails allow a plate or bowl to be slid directly underneath, so chopped ingredients transfer in one move. Rubber grips in the rails keep the board steady on any surface.Maple & oak untreated · 50 × 31 cm · raised foot rails · Form 2003 · handcrafted in Bavaria & MunichDETAILS DesignAndreas Ulbricht ProductionWendelstein Werkstätten & Caritas Werkstatt München MaterialMaple and oak, untreated Dimensionsl 50 × w 31 × h 6 cm Weight3.4 kg AwardForm 2003 Delivery1 cutting board XL QUESTIONS & ANSWERSWhy a cutting board this size — when does XL make the difference?50 × 31 cm means: slicing meat while keeping vegetables ready to one side, a full loaf of bread plus charcuterie, a cheese board for guests without anything crowding off the edge. Anyone who knows how quickly a standard board fills up knows what the XL format delivers. At 3.4 kg of solid wood, it stays put without being told to.What do the foot rails contribute in everyday use?The foot rails raise the board to 6 cm overall height — enough clearance to slide a plate or bowl directly underneath and transfer chopped ingredients in a single sweep without lifting. Also useful if the kitchen work surface feels too low: the raised board brings the cutting surface closer to the body. Rubber grips in the rails add non-slip security on top of the board’s own 3.4 kg weight.How do I care for a cutting board in untreated maple and oak?Do not put untreated wood in the dishwasher and do not leave it submerged in water. Wash with warm water after use and dry immediately. For regular care, rub in a food-safe clear wood oil or beeswax — the board becomes more resilient and develops a warm patina. At 3.4 kg of solid wood, the investment in care pays off: a board meant to last a lifetime.Can I order the Cutting Board XL as a corporate gift?Yes — the Cutting Board XL is an exceptional corporate gift for cooking enthusiasts: handcrafted, award-winning, and a lasting presence in any kitchen.

The board is produced by the Wendelstein Werkstätten and the Caritas Werkstatt München, two non-profit workshops for people with disabilities.

Anyone who regularly works with larger cuts, keeps multiple ingredients ready at once, or simply does not want the board to become the bottleneck in the workflow. 50 × 31 cm is the largest surface in the side by side cutting board series — designed to be the board one buys once and does not replace.What role does the combination of maple and oak play?Maple is pale, fine-grained and hard — the classic cutting wood that is easy on knife edges and absorbs minimal moisture. Oak is darker, with a coarser grain and its own distinct character. Both untreated, both suitable for food contact. The combination produces a visible contrast — not as decoration, but as the expression of two different material properties working alongside each other.How does the foot rail construction work on the XL?The foot rails raise the board 6 cm above the work surface — enough to slide a plate or bowl directly underneath and transfer ingredients in a single sweep. Rubber grips in the rails prevent slipping. With 3.4 kg of solid wood, the board’s own weight adds further stability: it does not shift while cutting.Why do two workshops produce the Cutting Board XL together?The Cutting Board XL is produced by the Wendelstein Werkstätten and the Caritas Werkstatt München — two non-profit workshops for people with disabilities. The side by side model connects design authors like Andreas Ulbricht with craftspeople working under social criteria. The result is not mass production: it is an object with a traceable origin and handcraft quality.What did the Cutting Board XL earn the Form 2003 for?The Form design prize recognises objects in which form and function are not two separate layers but one. Andreas Ulbricht’s cutting board has remained in production for over two decades because it contains nothing superfluous: the foot rails, the choice of timber, the proportions — everything follows the work the board is made for.How does one care for an untreated solid wood cutting board long-term?No dishwasher, no prolonged soaking. Wash with warm water after use and dry immediately. Regular treatment with a food-safe clear wood oil or beeswax keeps the timber supple and resistant. A board made from 3.4 kg of solid wood, properly maintained, lasts a lifetime and improves with every year of use.side by side Cutting Board XL — on blickfang-designshop.com.
