Wood and Onyx Platters

Mahogany & Onyx  Platter

The combination of wood and onyx is a great match of natural materials which create striking platters.  Brian turns the wooden platter on the lathe and then makes a recess the exact size of the stone and glues it into place.  The intense colours and patterns of the onyx against the grain of the wood make a beautiful, strong and durable serving tray.
