Mahogany Butcher Block by Atelier Calla from Haiti

$75.00

Made out of mahogany, this butcher block truly is a thing of beauty. It has live edges. What does that mean? The artisan respects the natural edges of the piece of mahogany and it becomes part of the design.  You will definitely want to keep this out on your counter all the time! It is absolutely stunning. This would make a beautiful gift for you or someone very special. We recommend that you do not put this in the dishwasher.To ensure years of beauty, rub a bit of olive oil on the wood every so often. 

Dimensions: 10-11 inches by 12 inches

Atelier Calla opened their workshop in Haiti in 2011 as a way to show people the love of Christ. Christelle, a banker of 12 years, was determined to give her artisans dignified employment; a safe environment to work in, a steady paycheck, and a meal. They started with 4 artisans and now have grown to 6 full time employees. I love how Christelle has imparted ownership to her artisans, they work together as a team to ensure all orders are fulfilled on time and with utmost quality. But what I love the most is how she is investing in the person and not just the work they can perform. Is it more work? Absolutely, but the results are lasting.

Empowering people. Changing lives.
