David that plastic slicing guide is just what I need here! (someone) in our house is unable to cut squarely off the loaf. Ultimately the result is a 45 degree angle cut off the end and a batard will not stand on its own.
I can picture those great saw blades cutting up a wee loaf of bread...from boule to box...great crust removing technique...cuts thru any yummy crust. Now what would I do with the insides?
Make pencils for docking rye loaves. Toothpicks for testing cakes. Transfer peels for flipping loaves. A bench for kneading dough. etc., etc. and so forth.

Oh Dear! Where did we go wrong? My breads are made from flour! :)

Oh Mini
Oh Mini, I think they meant something like this. Otherwise a chain saw works pretty well.

I hope one of these works for you.

I think this is what Nevie had in mind
Available at Target. Comes with a slicing guide.

Happy to be of help.
Hi, Eric.
I'm still waiting for Mini O's endorsement of the model I found for her.

I haven't stopped laughing about it

What to do with wood

Use whatever is left to fire your pizza oven.
