Wooden dishes are still popular and in demand. And in this review we will consider how to make wooden plates with your own hands.
How to choose the material for making plates? The best option is birch, linden or fruit trees (apricot, apple tree, cherry).
You can also use oak, hornbeam or walnut. Of course, we immediately abandon the coniferous species of wood - this material is not suitable for making dishes.
The main stages of work
First of all, we select a log of the desired diameter. We fix it with a clamp to the table and saw off the bottoms from it for future plates.
Next, the master cuts a piece of log suitable for length, drills a longitudinal through hole in the center of the workpiece, after which a ballerina is used. You can also use a hole saw.
In the next step, it will be necessary to glue the main part of the plate with the bottom. Then the product will need to be processed with a grinder.
The final touch - and you're done!
In the end, it remains only to cover the finished product with varnish or, for example, wax. The resulting plates (more likely even bowls) can be used to serve sweets, cookies or nuts.
