My Cheese Platter Board
Well I've posted a few threads on this beast, but now it is almost finished, has a few more coats of parrafin oil to go and a good buffing. Tiger Myrtle, Zebrawood and Ebony. The cutting board is end grain
Also made a cheese knife to go with it, finished with CA.
The SS cables seams to be doing its job holding it together, although you can see it in a few places from the bottom.

Beautifully made Neil. Wonderful patience on your part.
For me, the overall effect is that it is too fussy, but that is a matter of personal taste.

Yep, my son said it was too "loud". It was a good idea at the time Considering how many times the various parts went flying across the shed, the problems with cracking, I would never do it again.
My son is a similar age to my nephew who it was supposed to be a wedding present for, so now I'm thinking of keeping it myself and buying something else for the gift. After all, no-one apart from a woody we appreciate the value of the timbers involved .Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Neil, that is sensational. Amazing work!
Definitely would require the right setting for it, which I'd say most young people won't be able to provide. Also seems a shame to put cheese and crackers on it, it should be framed and exhibited!
I am in awe, as usual.

I give itCheers,

Ebony? You really didn't spare the pennies, eh?
You're right... the young bloke won't appreciate it. Turn him a wooden stubby holder instead and send the platter to someone who'll cherish it...

While many will see it as 'loud', it is still an eye-catching piece of work that I'm sure plenty of people would love to show it off in their home. Don't give it as a gift - it may not be appreciated - wait til someone drools over it and see it go to a good home Nice work Neil

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
