Hand turned wooden plate
This item is hand turned from single piece of maple wood and botanically dyed. The surface is finished with liquid glass.
Made as functional ware and food safe. Also large and sturdy enough to be used as serving platter or tray. Alternatively, simply great to look at as beautiful object.
Beautiful charcoal-graphite colour comes from pomegranate extract and iron dioxide. It changes its shade and depth at angle, showing the unique qualities of the grain and curvature of the wood.The artist is a keen collector of old pewter ware. With this plate, the artist further explored the beauty of aged pewter by using wood.
Treated with liquid glass, which not only makes it food safe and free from oil stains, but also that it will retain its colour for many years and is maintenance free, water resistant, and unlikely to decay.
Liquid glass is a relatively new nano-technology coating formula using exactly the same materials used in glass. Read more about it on blog.
