Size: Small: 7" x 3", Medium: 9" x 4". Beeswax finish, food safe. Sold individually.
Care: Hand wash, dry immediately. Restore vibrancy with linseed, coconut or mineral wood oil. Condition wood once a week with oil or whenever it looks dull.
From the maker:
At Itza Wood, our mission is to break the cycle of poverty in the Peten region of Guatemala. By providing education and employment opportunities to local residents, we celebrate the traditions of Peten while creating a better future for its people.
“Before touching a single tree, our reforestation project had planted 45,000 trees in the heart of the Peten jungle. This is our way of deepening our commitment to nature’s most beautiful treasures.” - Eliza Babarczy, Founder
Itza Wood was founded in the Peten Jungle - the largest remaining tropical forest of Central America.
Our story is closely entwined with our social efforts and initiatives: preserving the beauty of the Peten while empowering the Guatemalan people. All Itza Wood creations are sourced exclusively from the Petén jungle, while our growing contributions to the local Jungle School help drive education for young people in the region.
