A delightfully warped Oak burr plate with cats paw markings, bark inclusions, creases and cracking - an undeniably unique item!
This plate was turned when the wood had a high moisture content and, due to the nature of burr where the wood density and moisture concentration is uneven through the piece, the warping is significant with some cracking now apparent, making this piece unique and unreproducible.
The warping has finished and the piece will not change further unless left in direct sunlight for prolonged periods - never advised - or placed in a high humidity environment for prolonged periods - again, never advised).
