Pizza and bread peel

Made a wooden peel for baking bread and pizza on a stone.

 

Cut it out from a sheet of birch plywood using fretsaw, thinned edge with a rasp, covered with mineral oil.

 

Tried to make some ornament with a wood burning pen - though have to admit that my pyrography skills didn't get better since my last practice in childhood :)

 

I would make some changes in composition too. I've started with five fold symbol and then decided to draw four-line braid. Now I would switch them, so braid would better fit the handle and five fold be better transition to smaller braids.

 

I came up with five fold celtic symbol (modified it a little) to show close relations between baking on a stone and all four elements + time.
