Maple is Canada’s national tree. Spalting is a form of wood colouration (e.g., black and brown lines) caused by fungi and is characteristic of the initial stages of decay. Utilizing a simple plate design allows the spalting to be the primary focus of interest. Each wood turned item is hand sanded and sealed with a food-grade, highly durable gloss finish. The second plate size is 18.4 x 3.8 x 18.4 cm. Stand not included.
