Has lying around in my wood store loads of square beech beams of 50mm, which I got, always the question what to do with this stuff.
After thinking, I decided to made this platter out of this beams, with an oak motif.
310mm in diameter, finished with decorative acrylic lacquer on waterbase.
Hope you like it.....??

Thanks guys!!
@Ross and Ray, the only picture I have is a WIP picture of how it's built up of the sqaure beams with the oak strips, (looks a bit like a mess) :D
The platter is no longer mine, it's gone to some one else.:2tsup:

As they've all said - very nice Ad. Looks like a fairly quick one to cut & glue, and a great way to use up your stock of offcuts. I like it - I bet the new owners do too!

What they said. And an excellent visualization of the final product inside the glue-up.
Some of the joints are end-grain at 45 degrees, slightly stronger than butt joints. What kind of glue did you use?
Cheers,
Joe
