This is my second attempt at a “Cracked Ice Platter”.
The veneer is white oak and the solid wood is also white oak. The veneer has been stained an ebony color.
The wide rim on the platter is slightly concave. From a woodturning perspective, this is fairly standard. However, from the perspective of applying the veneer, doing so to a curved surface raised the degree of difficulty somewhat and required learning new techniques, which ultimately is the reason why I’m doing these platters.
