    Default Compass Platter Mk II

    Evening all,
    I've been playing with this for a while now and as the title suggests, it isn't my first attempt . Woods used are King Billy Pine, Camphor, Huon & Cedar. There was supposed to be another Cedar ring around the outside but I stuffed it up.

    The finish is Kunos Oil and isn't as shiny as the pics suggest, they were taken after applying coats but before wiping off.

    Hey Corbs
    Looks fantastic. I like the 'direction' you have taken with your woodworking. Although you may get 'lost' in your work.

    It all points to the degree of precision needed and good layout to make sure that the whole job doesn't go west.

    Orienteering of the grain to ensure that it is heading in the right direction has a bearing on this also.

    Good to see your thinking Laterally and circumnavigating issues such as longitudinal grain split orientating the pattern the way you have.
