The architectural influence extends to the use of joinery and hand finishing techniques, for rustic yet refined serving pieces. Smooth on one side for cutting and food preparation. The tradition of the norcineria has made the cutting board an essential instrument of the Italian kitchen. Our large scale boards are hand-crafted by a master carpenter using salvaged architectural elements of old estates, farms and churches. Each piece is handmade from reclaimed oak; sizes and colors will vary. An extension of Donna Lennard's beloved Il Buco restaurants, Il Buco Vita brings together handcrafted ceramics, linens, glassware, and decorative objects sourced from artisans across central Italy. Inspired by the collected, lived-in beauty of the restaurants themselves, the collection celebrates the imperfect elegance of handmade pieces and the enduring traditions behind them. Approximately 21.9.75" L x 21.5" W x 1" H. Hand-wash only with mild soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly with a towel and allow to air dry.
