CN Tulip Wood Long Tray w/ Brass Dot Detail

This 29.5" x 5.5" Charred Tulip Wood Long Tray by Christian Nyberg is a masterclass in restraint and form. Carved from a single stretch of tulip wood and transformed through a meticulous charring process, the tray’s surface ripples with soft undulations—each one shaped by flame, not machine. Hardwood embers are used to burn deep into the wood, scraped back, and then fired again, allowing the final shape to emerge through heat and intuition rather than rigid design.

The result is a vessel that feels ancient and modern all at once. Its elongated silhouette—dark and smoldering—draws the eye across its entire length, with subtle edges and a low profile that make it as ideal for serving as it is for display. A single brass dot punctuates the piece like a quiet signature, honoring the maker’s hand and the material’s transformation.
