Stitched Oak Platter

This platter was made from a 400 year old oak tree that fell during Storm Eowyn in 2025. It was turned when the wood was wet and a crack developed in it. I have stabilised the wood and stitched the crack with brass wire. The reverse has been blackened with a blow torch to give a striking effect. The walls of the platter are quite thin to lighten the weight of it.

Inspiration and Techniques
With so much waste and redundancy in the world, wherever possible, Glynn uses wood that has already had one life or has become available through a natural occurrence such as a storm or land clearance. No tree lasts forever and when it is time for it to be felled on safety grounds, he is there to gather whatever pieces he can. Other sources include reclamation yards where old gate posts and furniture can be upcycled into objects of beauty.
