Large Wood Platter (Walnut, Live Edge)

This large wood platter (European Walnut, Live Edge) shows the beauty of real wood. It highlights the difference between finished wood and the living tree it came from. Many makers lose the soul of the tree in the process. This handcrafted platter keeps it alive. The end-grain cut displays growth rings that reveal age, seasons, and resilience. A thick live edge of bark wraps the rim. It reminds us the platter was once part of a living tree.

We sealed natural voids with gold-tinted epoxy. This technique follows the Japanese art of kintsugi, which values flaws as part of the story. We finished the piece with layered oil and resin. The result is a rich, glossy surface that protects and enhances the wood. Despite its large size and bold look, the platter feels light. You can lift it easily and clean it without effort. A small foot lifts it off the table, adding style and elegance.

Use this wooden platter as a serving dish for dry goods. Place fairy lights or dried botanicals on it for decoration. Or enjoy it as a display piece that celebrates the raw beauty of live-edge European Walnut wood.
