Camphour laurel round centrepiece with beautiful woodgrain and hand-drawn gold foil detail, sealed with clear resin

Australian camphour laurel round table centrepiece with hand-drawn gold foil line work detail, sealed in clear resin.

I found this beautiful piece of camphour laurel at a local woodworker's shed and loved the amazing grain. Rather than cover up the beautiful grain with artwork I decided to do some simple line work in gold to give it a little something (but not too much). The piece has been sealed with several layers of food-safe clear resin. Resin will scratch so it is best if this centrepiece is used as a decor piece, for example as a display piece on your table or to showcase food at the table, but not to cut on.

The centrepiece is 30cm (12in) wide and 3.5cm thick. The back is plain and has been oiled.
