Serving Board Poplar
These boards are designed to be used as a centre piece on a table or simply as a serving board.
This board is formed from a single piece of Chinese Poplar, the big spreading poplar found on most farm paddocks in Aotearoa.
The dark ‘lacework’ inlay timber is Totara from an area in the Central Plateau in Te Ika a Maui (North Island) which was milled in the 1980’s. The trees the lacework came from are estimated to be around 1800 years old.
A fungal condition known as ‘Kaikaka’ would affect some big old trees and leave them ‘laceworked’ with masses of random holes going up the trunk. I have taken a section of lacework, filled it with liquid glass and rebated it into the serving board with a round copper frame.
