Quilted Maple Platter


This beautiful maple platter has incredible texture, character and rare figuring.  What sets it apart from other wood is that it is quilted maple which has a wavy pattern, like ripples on water. Brian never knows what lies within the slab of wood until he turns it on the lathe.  The highly prized quilting, the variations of colour, the spalting and the bark edge make this an exquisite piece.


Keely called today, looking for a gift for a friend in Banff after visiting with her for a week.  The friend is an artist and Keely is pleased that she can show her appreciation by sending her this special quilted maple platter.
