A decorative wooden mosaic plate meant for display. It is a cherry plate, inlaid with a solid walnut banding that surrounds a sapele veneer cube mosaic. The bottom of the plate has an anigre veneer sunburst. After multiple hand applications of shellac, it was hand sanded to produce a bright rubbed sheen. A final coat of non-toxic wax polish protects the finish, and is hand buffed to give the plate a silky feel when handled.
Mosaic plate
Hand applied shellac is a traditional, high quality furniture finish. It is non toxic. Shellac should not be exposed to substances containing alcohol, since this is the medium that the shellac flakes are dissolved in for application.
Cherry hardwood often has pitch pockets and mineral stains that are only revealed as the plate is being turned on the lathe. I only offer plates where these features, as I see it, add to the character of the piece. That being said, you know best what you find appealing. Please, look closely at the various angle views in the photo section to see if it meets your approval.
