Sorry about the poor quality photos - I forgot to photograph it before giving this one away as a present, so had to resort to phone photography.
I made this from a square piece of Myrtle I picked up from Island Specialty Timbers while I was on holidays in Tasmania a few months ago. I have done square platters in the past, where the tips of the square end up being the highest point of the piece, but for this I wanted to see if I could try something different, and fold the piece back on itself, so that the corners are pointing down rather than up. I am pretty pleased with the result, and I think it helps show off the grain better ear the corners.
Finished by sanding to 800, then UBeaut EEE, then Shellawax Glow.
Comments and Critique very welcome. Simon.
