Originally used in Indian kitchens for rolling chapati and roti, these old wooden boards, hand-crafted from solid hardwood, have a worn surface, softened by years of use.
There are lots of boards like these out there, but it’s when you come across a vintage one with years of wear, knocks, marks, cracks and irregular edges that you know you have found something special.
I love them for the way they break up a larger surface, such as your countertop or coffee table, while bringing in the warmth of a natural texture. Use one to display your candles, ceramics, shelves, plants and to generally add character to any spot on your countertop or coffee table.
The worn edges, markings and variations in the wood are all part of the original piece, with each board slightly different. Signs of age, wear, historic use, surface variation, old marks, knocks, scratches and natural timber movement are all part of its authentic character and charm.
