Description
This is for the cheese board, the charcuterie spread, or the housewarming gift that goes out with a good bottle of wine.
Itza Wood makes these serving boards by hand in Guatemala's Petén jungle, pairing manchiche with a second wood for a two-tone look: charred wood on the Narrow, mahogany on the Wide. They're finished with food-safe beeswax and are sturdy enough to double as a cutting board.
Bring one to the party and you'll be invited back.

Itza Wood
Each piece is a unique expression of Guatemalan beauty and biodiversity.
Itza Wood was founded by Eliza Babarczy in the Petén, the largest remaining tropical forest in Central America. The lumber comes from community-run, FSC-certified yards inside the Maya Biosphere, and the team planted 45,000 trees before cutting any.
