This finely detailed set of decorative and functional trays is modeled after Japanese bento boxes. Perfect for serving favorite bites, this set of three trays from Itza Wood is made from sustainably harvested granadillo wood in Petén, Guatemala. Each bento plate is handmade by skilled artisans, who dry the tropical wood in a kiln to prevent warping and then carve and finish each piece. We really like the fact that these trays are both functional and striking, while being produced by a company that supports the local economy and sustainably harvests the wood to ensure the forest remains healthy for future generations.

This unique assortment of wooden knives from Itza Wood, all made of sustainably sourced and harvested tropical hardwood, is as artful as it is durable. The three different sizes feature three different woods: the large ziricote, a deeply dark wood native to Guatemala, the medium jobillo, also called tigerwood for its fiery color and dark stripes, and the small pixi, known for its curvaceous spalting lines and sandy desert hue. These utensils emanate a wonderful sense of depth and nature and help elevate any table setting. Use the smaller knives with your next cheese board or the larger ones to serve dessert.

Artisanally made from exotic dark grain wood that has been locally and sustainably sourced in the Petén region of Guatemala, this Itza Wood server is equally as beautiful as it is functional for plating up pie, cake or quiche.

This beautiful board made from native big-leaf mahogany functions as both a durable cutting board and a unique warm-toned surface for serving. Handcrafted by Itza Wood with major attention paid to curing, sanding and finishing, this board features unique grains of wood sustainably harvested from Guatemala’s Petén Jungle. Each of these hard tropical wood pieces can take months to create, due to the drying process the wood goes through, and can last a lifetime. It takes an average 14 steps in the woodworking process to reach the highest standard of quality finish. To ensure durability the tropical wood is dried in a kiln, de-stressing it to prevent warping and changes as it is then transformed by an artisanal team of talented carvers, carpenters and crafts people. We really like the fact that while this board is both functional and striking, while being produced by a company that supports the local economy and sustainably harvests the wood to ensure the forest remains healthy for future generations.
