Enrico Root Wood Large Platter

Description

There are countless uses for these small scale hand-carved wooden platters. Use them as side dish servers, bread plates, candy and nut dishes, or to distribute tapas to your guests. They even make a wonderfully unique key valet in your home or cabin. Each is hand-carved and no two are exactly alike. Each of our hand carved root platters is uniquely beautiful and stands alone as a natural work of art. These fantastic pieces are carved from a species of Chinese Fir called Shan Mu, which grows abundantly in the mountains of central China. The stumps left by logging are reclaimed prior to replanting and hand-carved by local artisans into the shapes in this collection. They are beautiful and practical items that bring their own unique organic charm into the home. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind. Food-safe lacquer finish. Hand wash. Knotholes and minor cracks add a unique charm. The item is not recommended for serving hot foods, although the item would probably not be damaged if someone used it for hot foods.
