This small plate was turned from crotch in a white ash (Fraxinus americana) tree. the piece was sawn and turned to showcase the spectacular feather figure that often occurs in where large branches split from the main trunk of the tree. This particular plate features a bead rim that delineates the interior. The outside form is a simple flowing form with a reverse curve at the foot that raises the plate from the surface that it is sitting on. Finished with several coats of tung oil and then buffed to a pleasing satin sheen, this plate is ready to go to work in your kitchen or dining room.
