About this product
A kitchen essential with a touch of elegance, our Round Chopping Board with Handle is crafted from durable, richly grained acacia wood. Ideal for prepping ingredients or serving cheeses and small bites, this versatile board is both functional and beautiful. Its rounded shape and built-in handle make it easy to use, carry, and display.
This cutting board is ethically made and designed in collaboration with artisans from the Province of Tarlac in the Philippines, verified by the Fair Trade Federation. Each piece is meticulously hand carved, giving each plate a distinct design, richness and personal touch.
It is made from sustainably sourced Acacia wood from the forests of Pangasinan, prized for its durability, beautiful blend of warm colors and uniqueness. Acacia trees grow quickly and thrive in a variety of soil types, ensuring a steady and sustainable supply of timber, making it more available than other hardwoods. Acacia plantations often serve as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while the trees themselves require little to no fertilizer and rarely need pesticides, reducing their environmental impact.
By purchasing this plate, you are supporting local artisans in the Philippines, particularly in rural areas, providing them with livelihood and fair wages while honoring their dignity as skilled craftspeople and preserving traditional crafts, techniques and knowledge.
You are also contributing to the preservation of natural forests and the promotion of sustainable land use.
Since each piece is hand carved, please expect slight variation in design, color, shape, and size.
