Ironwood Gourmet Avignon Baguette Miter, Acacia Wood 1.75 x 3.5 x 26.25 inches

I did not buy this for sushi. I have a Cuisinart Grind And Brew coffeemaker. I seem to be water challenged when filling it because half the time I pour water down the outside of the machine. It is heavy, has a short cord, sits back against the wall and sticks to the counter so pulling it out is a pain. I bought this Sushi Plate because the dimensions are just slightly larger than the bottom of my coffee maker and because it had four small, short legs and because I thought it was attractive. The sushi plate was very dry so I oiled it with mineral oil. Now when I miss the water container of my coffee pot I can quickly wipe up the water because this little plate moves easily on my counter. The short legs hav not added a lot of height to my coffeemaker. The Sushi Plate is very pretty. Once oiled the wood just pops with color. As Sebastian82 wrote, the wood is soft. I may buy another in time if the price does not go up. It is a very pretty and versatile piece.

great birthday present

Se ven muy artesanales, es como si un carpintero-tallador aprendiz las hubiera hecho. Sólo las salva el bajo precio.

Very good, we loke it, premium quality, like we wanted

I am very happy with this product. The look of the platter is pleasing to the eye. I keep it oiled with tung oil. Though it would make a perfect sush platter, I use the platter as an accent piece to a home altar. It also looks great under a Bonsai plant during photo taking but since I only own one platter I chose to keep it on the altar. On the wood itself, I was suprised to find the wood to be very lite almost comparable to balsa wood. The density is softer than a maple or cherry wood and a few degrees harder than pine. I can press a fingernail into it so it is not a heavy and dense variety of ironwood. There are so many varieties within the "ironwood" catagory I couldn't tell which this could be. Plus, my knowledge of woods is lacking. I can tell you it is a nice piece if a little high priced. I would defininately buy more if the price was lower.
