Hi everyone. Here is a quilted huon pine platter I made last weekend.
My new scraper from CWS is doing a great job so far, and makes such a difference! Sanded from 240 to 600, then EEE then UBeaut Shellawax Glow polish. I didn't put any EEE or polish inside the recess. Firstly because when I get around to signing it, I think it would go better on raw timber rather than polished. Secondly, I just can't bring myself to completely cover the beautiful natural scent of Huon Pine with a polish which might mask the smell.
275mm diameter x 35mm height at edge of rim (highest point). There was a cool knot in it, which ended up in the side of the platter. I liked it, so didn't want to cut it out or reduce the overall diameter. Plenty of small cracks (can see on left hand side of photo of the base), but nothing that some medium and thin CA couldn't take care of.
This is still fairly new for me, so comments and critique are very welcome.
Thanks for looking. Simon.
