Gerardo Valencia Hernández has masterfully preserved traditional wood lathe techniques for over three decades in Paracho, Michoacán, while building a global presence for his exquisite handcrafted goods. His dedication to sustainable practices emphasizes quality over quantity, protecting the forests that provide his primary material. Working primarily with granadillo wood, prized for its remarkable texture, Valencia Hernández creates functional art pieces, including kitchen utensils and components for elegant table settings.

Before first use, lightly coat with food-grade mineral oil to condition the wood. After use, hand wash promptly with warm water and mild soap, avoiding prolonged soaking. Air dry completely before storing.
