Live edge: the outline of the trunk
The edge isn't cut square: it's the real shape of the tree, with its bark sanded and sealed. That's why no two share a silhouette.
Grazing size for a long table: cheese, charcuterie and bread with no need to refill mid-dinner.
Wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, and dry it standing up. Do not put it in the dishwasher or leave it to soak.
Every two or three months, a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil. It brings back the colour, on the edge too.
The shape, the tone and the grain change from one board to the next: each piece comes from a different part of the trunk.
On live edge boards, the edge is the real outline of the tree and may have bark or a more rustic area, sanded and sealed with the same food-grade oil as the rest. It is not a defect: it is the part of the tree that has been kept on purpose.
The one you receive will not be exactly the one in the photo. That is what makes it one of a kind.

The edge isn't cut square: it's the real shape of the tree, with its bark sanded and sealed. That's why no two share a silhouette.
It may have bark on the edge and an area with more character. It is not a finishing fault: it is the part of the tree that has been kept.
Hand-picked pieces of solid acacia, not panels or thin veneers. That is why the tone and the pattern change from one board to the next.
Tested by Intertek under the European standard EC 1935/2004, with a sensory test and a migration test for bisphenol A and formaldehyde.
Cut the cheese, the charcuterie or the bread on it and carry it over as it is. It's one of those pieces that saves you from plating anything.
