In the artisan community of Merida, woodturning is not merely a craft—it is a legacy. Guillermo Piste, a sixth-generation woodturner from Dzityá, carries this lineage forward with both reverence and innovation.

His large-scale vessels, plates, and bowls highlight the natural beauty of regional woods such as ciricote, tzalam, and mahogany, enhanced with oil finishes that reveal their intricate grain. Through his family workshop, Guillermo sustains a tradition deeply woven into the cultural fabric of his community.
