The wooden chapati board with carving is a beautiful example of Indian craftsmanship and tradition. Each board is newly made but carved by hand from recycled wood, often sourced from old pillars and architectural details. This gives every piece its own history and character, making no two boards exactly the same. The patterns, sizes, thicknesses and wood types vary naturally, and small cracks or fissures can appear, adding even more rustic charm to the design.
In India these boards are used to roll out chapati breads — soft, unleavened flatbreads that are a daily staple not only in India but also in Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Caribbean. Chapatis are eaten by hand, often served with an array of side dishes such as curries and dal, and the chapati board is an essential tool in many households.
Our hand-carved chapati boards bring that story and authenticity to your home. They make a striking rustic base for a table setting, especially with a glass cover on top or a vase filled with dried flowers. Plant pots also look beautiful displayed on them, and they can even be used as charming pan coasters or serving stands. However you style it, each board tells a story of reuse, craftsmanship and tradition — a small piece of India to cherish in your own living space.
