Turned Wooden Platters

Essentially, the difference between a platter and a bowl is that a platter is shallower.
Platters also often have a wide rim, as can be seen on those shown on this page. The wide rim offers an opportunity for decoration in the form of carving, texturing and colouring so they make great decorative or commemorative pieces.
Wooden platters can also be used as shallow fruit bowls and if used for decoration, can be displayed horizontally or vertically.

Finishes are generally wax based. A wax finish is suitable for either decorative use or as a fruit bowl but will not withstand washing.
