Blackbutt Platter and Tasmanian Myrtle Bowl.
Well, the Illawarra Woodworker Group is having Sales and Demo's this weekend at The Thirroul Seaside Arts and Crafts Festival and I actually finished a few items.
NZ might remember the little platter,I started it on his Stubby. Dimensions: 540 wide x 45 thick Blackbutt Burl. Bloody hard!!!! I finished it on the Yellow Perill on the outboard side, thank dog for the 50rpm low speed as it is a little intimidating spinning up burl platters.
The stand is just a necessity, Redgum and English Oak locking pin (out of shot). All the plate stands were too small, this stand is 250mm tall.
The Tassy Myrtle bowl I got of ebay. It had gone abit oval in the change in locations, but once round it was a pleasure to turn. Dimensions: 255 wide x 105 deep. I tried to keep the walls to 12 -15mm thick. Sanded to P1000, EEE and 3 coats of Kunos Oil at speed.
This makes up for all the bowls that, for one reason or another, don't make itPat

That Black Butt looks like one mean piece of wood to deal with.
Is the last photo the underside of the Myrtle bowl? It looks completely different to the other photos.Dallas

Dallas, same bowl. Just not sanded and polished to the absolute out of the area, preferring an off the tool finish.
