Indaba Platter Tray – Handcrafted Hardwood Serving Tray (55 x 22 x 5.5cm)
Serve and present food with the Indaba Platter Tray, individually handcrafted from responsibly sourced hardwood. Each tray has its own natural grain, colour and character, shaped by the wood used in its creation. Measuring 55 × 22 × 5.5cm, it offers a generous surface for presenting food when entertaining or sharing meals at home.
Construction & Design
Each Indaba Platter Tray is handcrafted by informal artisans using hardwood from trees that have already been felled. No trees are felled specifically for this product range, giving existing timber a new purpose.
Depending on availability, the tray may be made from Pecan Nut, Wild Olive, Olive, Oak or Blackwood. Each piece is finished with food-grade mineral oil to nourish and help protect the wood while highlighting its natural appearance.
Custom orders using a single type of wood are available on request, subject to availability and additional cost.
Performance & Benefits
The tray’s rectangular shape provides space for arranging and presenting a variety of foods. Its natural hardwood surface makes each piece distinctive, while the handcrafted construction means variations in grain, colour, size and natural cracking may occur.
