Maple Serving Board
Hand-turned from a solid block of sugar maple, this board can be used to serve crudités and charcuterie, though it is distinct and refined enough to be displayed on its own. Its cylindrical shape is simple, solid and sturdy, giving geometric form to the wave-like maple wood grain. Remarkable from all angles, even the base is thoughtfully designed as it features Wesselman's signature floating ring pedestal.
Seattle artist Katherine Wesselman turns each wooden piece on a lathe she received from her father, and the heritage of craftsmanship mingled with her impeccable design sense is plain to see in all of her work. This is an object to cherish!
