Blackwood heavy platter
Beautifully figured timber and an elegant, low-profile shape come together in this substantial handcrafted Blackwood platter by Adelaide Hills woodturner Neil Strong.
Made from rescued Australian Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon), this piece showcases the lighter-coloured sapwood of the tree, revealing fascinating ripples and flowing grain created through natural compression growth.
The contrasting honey, amber and deeper brown tones highlight the unique character of the timber, while the generously rounded rim gives the platter a pleasing sense of substance.
An eye-catching piece for a dining table or sideboard, equally lovely displayed on its own or used as a decorative serving platter.
