We the People Platter features an engraving inspired by the Declaration of Independence. This is perhaps one of the most important and powerful documents of all time. Laser cut on a wood platter with a small cavity to hold your rings on a nightstand. The size is approximately 7 inches by 7 inches by 2 inches high.
This is a laser-cut historic document burned into a platter that is turned on a wood lathe. The process is to turn a square block on a lathe. This creates the sloping edges on the underside of the platter. Next, I laser etch the piece with the document. There is a small cavity in the center that will hold a ring on a desk or a nightstand. Leave it in the kitchen so you have a safe place to keep you ring during food preparation and clean up. This is also a great centerpiece or display piece.

Then in order to complete the piece secondary operations are required. With this piece I engraved the wood with a high power laser. Then I sanded it and finished it with a food safe protective coating.
