Spoons, bowls, rolling pins and platters have all been commissioned...
This Beech rolling pin is rather plain but was made with the clients choice of wood. The picture doesn't really give any indication of just how large & heavy this is but, believe me - you wouldn't want to make this baker angry when she has this in her hand!
This very large chopping board was made for a local chef, at over 2 foot long & 15 inches across it weighs a whopping 4 kilos and is made from Ash & Sapele. Picture was taken before the final sanding - hence the discolouration to the surface.
This platter was one of 25 commissioned for a wedding party, the happy couple wanted to save on washing up at the end of the day so served all their food on platters. Rather than wash them up they let their guests take them home - with one platter per table I'm not sure how they decided who got to keep them, as long as they didn't split them up (sorry, couldn't resist the cheesy pun)...
They weren't actually served oranges and salad, this was just my photoshoot so they could see what they would look like...
These next platters are much larger and have been made for Lodge Catering of London who are the official caterers for the National Geographic Society as well as catering at weddings & film premieres (I won't name drop but James Bond may soon be served from one of my platters :)
At 16.5" wide they had to be made from 2 halves to prevent warping or splitting. Sapele was again chosen to re-inforce the ends due to it's longevity and durability.
