Black walnut is a deciduous North American tree with deeply furrowed black bark. These slabs, cut on the diagonal through the limb, have distinctive dark brown heartwood and lighter sapwood on the outer edge.
The variations in colour from butternut to dark brown with visible growth rings made a unique platter. Brian experimented with a raised lip, offset from the centre, with great results.
From the raw slab of wood to the finished platter--beautiful. I can imagine cheese and grapes arranged on the outer edge and crackers in the centre bowl. Appetizers never looked better.
