Spalted White Oak Trivet / Fruit Platter

I'm a Maker. Each piece begins as an expression. Part conversation, part journey. An unfolding discovery we 3 take together. Nature speaks first with Her quiet patterns, textures, colors and in the very physics of how materials choose to move. I listen and interact as I combine elements and forces into form. Then finally, You. What resonance, perspective, or purpose will you bring to it?

So, what is the meaning of a piece? You tell me.
