This is "Immemorial Tree of Life" 15 1/2" D Cherry Platter. 
Was hand drawn, hand carved and then the image burned. 
Finish Tung Oil dried for several months then the work was done, after that Deft sanding sealer then sanded back to 800 grit and hand buffed w/ a cloth.

Beautiful.  A little hard to tell, is the tree lowered by carving?

Souperchicken: the background was carved away just a bit to remove the dry Tung Oil finish then the details were burned in and 2 coats of Deft sanding sealer were applied to hopefully keep the background lighter. I'll take a closeup photo and post it in a little while.

Here's a close up photo this should help see it better.

The wow factor is at a 10 on this one.  Well done.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
