This hand-carved wooden chapati board is a beautiful expression of Indian craftsmanship and everyday tradition. Each board is newly made and carefully carved by hand from recycled wood, often sourced from old pillars and architectural elements. These reclaimed materials give every piece its own history and soul. No two boards are ever the same, with natural variations in pattern, size, thickness and wood type. Small cracks or fissures may appear, not as imperfections, but as part of the board’s honest, rustic character.

In India, chapati boards are an essential part of daily life. They are traditionally used to roll out chapatis, the soft, unleavened flatbreads eaten by hand and enjoyed across India and far beyond, from Nepal and Bangladesh to Pakistan, Sri Lanka, East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Caribbean. Chapatis are usually shared alongside curries, dal and vegetable dishes, bringing families together around the table. The chapati board quietly plays its role in these everyday moments, passed from one generation to the next.

This wooden chapati board brings that rich story into your home. Made using traditional techniques and recycled wood, it reflects a conscious way of making that respects both craftsmanship and the planet. As a decorative object, it adds warmth and texture to your interior. Use it as a rustic base for a table setting, style it with a glass cover, dried flowers or a plant pot, or place it in the kitchen as a charming serving stand or pan coaster. However you choose to use it, this board adds depth, character and a sense of lived history.

Each hand-carved chapati board tells a story of reuse, skilled hands and cultural tradition. It is a soulful piece that connects everyday rituals with sustainable design, bringing a small but meaningful piece of India into your home at Mayala Home.
