Plate

[Simomatra]

This was finished yesterday

The timber is Crow's Ash and the finish is EEE and sheelawax

The wife intends to use it as a fruit dish

Thanks for all your help Jim

:iagree: 'Tis a nice job. Crow's Ash. Looks like nice wood to spin. :brava:Like the way you did the bottom, too. :clap:

Nice platter. So what is "crow ash" ?

[powderpost]

Simomatra, Nice job, simple clean lines, well finished both over and under.
Terry B, crows ash is a part of the flindersia family, a cousin to Queensland maple, silver ash and hickory ash.

Looks like you've found your rythm Sam! Very nicely done mate! :2tsup:

[Simomatra]

Thanks everybody

It was nice timber to turn it can be a little hard on the tools as apparently it has a high silica content

Thanks Jim for answering Terry

Lovely work Sam, the Crows Ash has also got some nice figuring in it too

I like the "flying saucer" shape. Good work.

Hi Sam

I think the wood talked you into that shape, both are beautiful:rolleyes:

Cheers

G'Day Jim

That's a nice dish and I too like the foot. I have been doing a few bits in rose ash (flindersia laevicarpa) and certainly seems to be a nice family of wood.

Cheers
