Corian Sake set with inlay

Corian Sake set with inlay

My parents had a couple of porcelain sake sets when I was a youngster and I was impressed by their elegance. When I decided to make a set recently I thought it would be nice to inlay it, which is something I have been itching to do ever since I saw Stephen Hatcher's demo a couple of years ago. His work is so stunning and inspiring. However, I decided to use organic material instead of stone for the inlay. The tree branches are mixed saw dust from mahogany and ebony and the flowers are ground-up dried crepe myrtle flower petals mixed with white Corian powder
Thanks for all your comments.

Cynthia, I was going to inlay the platter before SWAT but just didn't have the time to do it. Also, after SWAT I came home and decided that an oval platter would be a lot more interesting.
