… NOTE the SPECIAL pricing and SHIPPING INFORMATION below!   If you contact me PRIOR to PURCHASE, with the Local pickup OPTION you can save money.   
… The recycled old tree this strongly grained white oak wood came from was about 160 years old, 36 inches in diameter, and 50 ft. tall.  Unfortunately had to be removed because it was dying and a threat to the house near it.  Natural splits and cracks in the art piece have been strengthened, filled and sealed with epoxy.
… A smooth, satin oil varnish like finish protects the underside of this platter and a food-safe wax protects the top/inside so it can hold and display anything but liquids or extremely moist items.  
… Shipping:  This item will be shipped in a box.  I expect it to take 3-5 days to ship and I will email you with a tracking number when it has been sent.

Care of your Valuable Art piece:    
1.  The beauty of your art piece is best maintained by periodic gentle dust removal with a soft brush on a vacuum cleaner and, if you feel it is needed, occasional buffing with a very light coating of something like food-safe Howard's Butcher Block finish which helps protect and enhance the rich colors.  
2. Display this treasure where it will be protected from sun, chemicals, moisture and damaging heat. No wood likes direct sun, because strong light fades rich colors (of course, some wood colors inevitably change over time). 
3. If you have specific questions, you are welcome to email me:  rcpaulson@msn.com.
