>     I'm looking for 20 7/8" diameter Sterling disks for a customer

    The only place I've ever seen silver sheet close to this wide was in
    the Georg Jensen Smithy in Copenhagen. There they hand raise some
    huge pieces, a very large covered serving platter that finished about
    18" wide and about 25" long. The big stuff is hand forged - and may
    be from very thick billets. 

    The widest commercially available sheet is 12". 

    Ok, I've shown my ignorance - where can you get wide sheet? It is
    easy to get the disks cut if you can find the material. Most metal
    shops have a big circle cutter. 

    Great question.
