Hello. This dish was also inspired by my wife's love to host people at our home. It was made at the same time as the display dish. It is made from same red heart and canary wood species, and turned in the same time frame. It is heavier on the bottom, so it can sit in your lap if you like to snack sitting down. It is beautiful, unique, and well built. It is coated with a food safe clear coating. It would be an amazing addition to your hosting and or snacking dishes, even more so if you paired it with the display dish!! Thanks for looking!!!
