This elongated board with an off-kilter, hand-carved handle is a mainstay piece of high quality that will be your new fave workhorse.  It looks perfect in the center of the table for breads or a charcuterie board, works well as a base for chopping and prep work and makes a lovely gift for the chef or entertainer. 

Siblings Maria and Santiago named Chechen Wood Design after the Chechén tree, which lives to more than 100 years old. Their strategy for the brand is just as lasting—breathing new life into wood offcuts from a furniture workshop, which are too small for furniture, but just the right size for handmade dishes and accessories. Master carpenters in Guadalajara now combine Mexican artisanal techniques with nine different kinds of wood to create beautiful, sustainable pieces for the table.
