Hand Carved Wood Salad Serving Set

Boasting a curvy and elegant aesthetic, the hand-carved wood salad serving sets are one of UPAVIM's most popular products. Reclaimed Laurelwood is used to construct each set, finished with a food-safe tung oil and protected against any climate conditions.  Handcrafted by Diego, a local carpenter who lives in a small town on the coast of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.  He, his wife Raquel, and their nephew Pedro hand-carve beautiful wood kitchen servers from reclaimed wood for sustainable, living wage.
