This piece was expertly crafted into the flowing shape and elegant lines. Carves and finely sanded down to thin edges that curl like the tips of a flower. The grains are a rosy golden color and they swirl throughout the piece. This tray has a natural flowing shape, moving much like the grains of wood in the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis would be a stunning piece for a long dining table or island and used to hold fruit or to feature an appetizer spread.
