I didn’t have any pieces large enough to turn the platter I wanted, so I decided to glue up some scraps, including a few different kinds of Oak, some Walnut and a little Maple. I ended up with a blank perfect for this 16″ platter. I aimed to make this platter as practical as possible, whilst maintaining the design and challenge objective. I think this platter would work well as a cheese/charcuterie board, with the bead in the middle providing a centrepiece for some baked camembert!
