A couple of big platters. These were
produced for a recent, local, art exhibition.
The Pippy Oak Platter shown on the left was
20" diameter. The wood came from a local wood
yard and had been felled some 13 years ago.
This was the third in a series of 5. 1, 2 and 4
are still for sale - the fifth is still waiting to
be turned. "Pippy" refers to the black marks in
the wood. These are where the tree attempts
to create new branches and fails, leaving the
flaws in the wood. Suitable for display or
practical use
This larger platter to the left (24" diameter)
is very impressive. It is made from Ash and
has a fantastic patterning in the wood. The
Ash came from John Bradford's yard at
Wiggaton and was felled around the turn of the
century in Devon (Bicton Garden, I think). This
was the end piece of a large plank - the
remainder will go to make large rotating
cheeseboards as shown in Gallery1. The first is
already made and with this platter will go to
East Devon Arts Festival at Thorverton later
in May.
