Ash plate.

Nah, flat or with a small lip, some where square , which is the sort that's been churned out for the ye olde feast market but looking at them in paintings etc round ones were much more common. They seamed to die out in the 17th C , early 18th.

Thanks for the info Tom. Just seemed a nice touch for my Boone kit.

I believe they were originally made from a round flat loaf or 'slice' of bread.....the food was piled on top and then the juices/gravies etc. soaked into the bread and could be eaten at the end of the meal.

Very nice job is that, must have a go at one sometime. Love the dark heartwood through the centre and being Ash, that'll be one tough plate! You could paddle a canoe with it.....

Handsome job, indeed!

Nice work Colin. Lovely looking plate with some little very contrasting grain too.

Great stuff Colin. That looks great! Probably good for haggis ( see Robert Burns Address to see what I'm talking about!)

A fantastic wood carving my close friend CrosslandKelly. Such equipment would look great, served with a generous serving of my incredible partridge broth.

The plate has one more real advantage that I don't think that anyone has mentioned = insulation for hot food.
Visually, that plate is bound to make any food more appealing and it won't be stone cold before you finish.

I hadn't thought of that, thanks.
