My brother makes a wooden box. I haven't seen one, so I'm not sure how to
describe it. Basically, you put your bread in, and there are slots on it to
insert your knife, and slice down. You get evenly sliced bread. I'll try to
talk him into making me one, or at least sending me plans, so I can describe
it better. Are there any woodworkers out there? Have any of you seen
something like this?
