Redwood Plate (8") #52
Redwood Plate (8") #52
This sturdy Redwood plate has beautiful figured grain section, with a nice ogee curve on the underside. Note: there is one blemish (natural hole) on the underside, which I’ve filled with redwood dust and CA glue to stabilize.
Size: 1 3/8” tall by 8 1/8” wide
Wood: California Redwood. This wood has some burr figure and deep red/brown colors. Finished with food-safe linseed oil and beeswax.
Source: This redwood was found along the shores of the Sacramento River, CA. After some friends gathered this hunk, I chainsawed several blanks and wondered what a journey this wood has been on!
Use: Great for holding food such as sandwiches, cheese, crackers, nuts, or your favorite snacks!
Care & Maintenance: Wipe with damp cloth, or rinse quickly with water, then dry immediately. Avoid leaving bowl in water or sitting wet. When bowl feels dry or looses luster, rub with mineral oil (butcher block oil), pure food-grade linseed or tung oil. It’s okay to lightly sand with 600 grit paper if the grain feels fuzzy after many washes. Oil frequently to maintain sheen. The more you use it, the better the patina!
