This design is a modification of my standard Seder plate design. The background has been styled with an engraved paisley pattern. The pattern is subtle, so as not to clash with the wood grain. It is also optional.
This example about 15 1/2" diameter and is made of Ash hardwood. I applied a cherry gen stain to accentuate the edges, especially of the paisley engraving. For the large side, the cups are standard, 3" glass kitchenware. They are brand new and kosher.
This particular piece is sold. Yours may be of any hardwood I can source. The price may vary based on the species of wood used and the size.
I have made variations of this with a family name in the middle, with the letters under the item cups rotated (as these are) or not rotated. I will finish any lettering in the middle with 23K gold leaf for a modest charge.
Please contact me with your wishes, and I'll see what I can do. There is never any charge for discussion and design. Any custom design will be sent to you for approval before I ask you to commit.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I specialize in making special things you want, within the limits of my tools and abilities.
These fall into two categories, with some overlap.
I make wood carvings, cut from a single piece of select hardwood. I customize each design to customer needs. These designs are of a spiritual nature and embrace many traditions. These include custom Challah boards, Seder plates, Episcopal virges, Dartmouth canes, and engagement ring boxes.
I also do 3D printing, which is sometimes the right method to make something you want. I have also used 3D printing to make prototypes of more complex pieces, such as cane finials.
Much of what I make involves carving artwork into wood and filling the engraving with a thermoset resin, tinted with an intentional, contrasting color. The resin and the wood are polished and finished to enhance the grain and the literal depth of the color. This is a key part of the Challah boards and ring boxes.
I also make ceremonial canes used by some student groups to signal their membership in particular groups. These groups are not disclosed, and I thank them for their patronage.
