"Welcome to Peters Platters"
Welcome to the galleries of my woodturning.  I specialise in bowls, dishes and platters made from mostly English timber.  Most of the pieces shown have been sold and are therefore only examples upon which to base a new design that might just fulfil your requirements for a gift of something totally unique.  

The "Welcome" page is filled with all the items that are presently "In Stock".

 If you see something that might be just what you are seeking, please make contact as soon as possible!

It must always be remembered that every piece is unrepeatable in the grain shown since each piece differs slightly even from the same tree, the same plank.  

Pieces are now in Norway, Denmark, South Africa, Germany, Florida, Texas, Illinois and many hundreds of homes in the United Kingdom.
