Wood Available for Platters

Some of these pieces can be book matched with clear epoxy between the pieces.  Most pieces can be made into platters up to about 20" in diameter.  This is a selection of the wood that is available.

I have added some possible configurations using the wood shown.  The groupings show the raw wood, a pattern laid over the wood and what the platter might look like.  The gaps both in and between the pieces would be filled with clear epoxy.  I have shown 17" and 18" diameter possibilities.  Other sizes are available.  Click on an image to see an enlargement.  Scroll to the bottom to see sample of finished platters.

​Please consult with your associate at Hopson Grace for a quote and more detailed information.
