wood spreaders

"We designed these for spreading the icing on a cake, butter on bread and even your favorite dips," Peten Wood Artisan Sculptors tell us with obvious pride. They carve the pair by hand from cericote wood, a naturally dark-grained wood with interesting patterns that sometimes shows white parts, creating a striking contrast.

Hand wash with soap and water. Never use a dishwasher or expose the wood to heat sources or water, as they could cause it to warp. To renew the shine, polish the wood with vegetable oil and a soft cloth.

"The chopping boards that my grandma used inspired me to design this series of cutting boards," confides Guatemala's Victor Hugo Lopez. Working with pinewood, he carves the chopping board by hand in the shape of a pig. This whimsical design adds fun to any kitchen and perfect for grazing charcuterie spreads.
