Project Information
This dish was from a 1 1/4" thick slab of pistachio that was cut from a tree from California that was grafted about
50 yrs ago.The light colored wood is the root stock and the dark brown/black wood is the latest tree stock from the graft. The slab was about 5 ft long and very dry and cracked everywhere. I made 4 long pieces from the sides of the tree stock and threw the center away but saved this end to make this dish. It took a lot of filling with black epoxy at every step of the way.
This tells what to put on a charcuterie board/ tray/dish: https://foodiesfamily.com/what-to-put-on-a-charcuterie-board/.
It finished at 14 5/8" diameter and 7/8" thick The bottom is about 3/8" thick. It is finished with Danish oil and buffed and waxed.
Cheers, Jim
