We drew it to read as Tahoe the moment you see it — the Emerald Bay notch, the long west shore, the tapered south end — while still working as a board you can actually put food on. Every one is cut, shaped, and sanded by hand, so no two edges are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eBuilt to be used\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid acacia, 1½\" thick.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, tight-grained, and naturally water-resistant — one of the better hardwoods you can put a knife to.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJuice groove follows the shoreline.\u003c\/strong\u003e Catches carving juices and cheese oils instead of your counter, without eating into the usable cutting surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid brass feet with rubber O-rings.\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-slip on granite or quartz, and the raised profile lets air move underneath so the board dries evenly instead of trapping moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood-safe oil and wax finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e No resin, no lacquer, no plastic — just wood you can cut on and re-oil for years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBig enough to work on.\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 × 13 inches handles a whole chicken, and it's handsome enough to carry straight to the table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCut on it — with eyes open\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is a real cutting board, not décor.

Regular oiling keeps it looking good for years.
