The Beauty of Spalted Beech
Unique Grain, Natural Elegance
Spalted Beech is renowned for its striking character and organic markings. Every ripple, line, and swirl across this platter’s surface tells its own tale, making no two pieces alike. The interplay of pale honey tones, rich golden browns, and dramatic dark veins gives the wood a one-of-a-kind fingerprint, ensuring your platter is truly unique.
This naturally occurring spalting effect transforms the beech into a living canvas. Whether admired as a functional serving piece or as a decorative object in its own right, the grain pattern will always draw attention and spark conversation.
Crafted with Care
Handmade Excellence from Start to Finish
Our skilled artisan has carefully hand carved and shaped this platter, retaining a natural flow to its form while giving it a refined, tactile finish. Each curve and contour has been thoughtfully sculpted, ensuring a smooth surface while preserving the organic charm of the wood.
The platter is sanded to a fine grade for a flawless feel, then sealed with multiple coats of food safe oil and wax. This enhances the natural colours, protects the surface, and ensures it’s both safe and durable for serving food.
The design takes inspiration from reservoir style carving, offering a gentle recess that holds food beautifully in place. From rustic breads to vibrant salads, charcuterie spreads, or even a whole roasted fish, this piece elevates your culinary presentation with understated elegance.
