Jarrah Burl Platter with embonising and an embellished rim
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen
I have recently finished this Jarrah Burl Platter with embonising and an embellished rim. It is approx 300mm across and finished with 10 coats of Danish Oil
Cheers

Looks great there Willy . Looking at that big crack/fault (on top diagonal in 2nd photo), that passes all the way through, you are lucky it held on. Did the chunk that was missing fall off or was it always that way?
Given the cracking/voids and associated danger they posed, I probably would have filled them with something, but that's just meNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

I don't mean to be blase or arrogant, but after turning many hundreds of Burls, I reckon I am pretty comfortable with the risk management of cracks etc. Touch wood of course (Ha Ha double entendre (spelling) there). That chunk was already removed prior to turning, so had to be careful at the sanding stage.
I often use CA for smaller cracks, but the Plastibond for the bigger ones, but often don't treat them at all.
Did a competition piece a while ago, and a professional turner said 'Oh, what a shame, you didn't fill the voids'. I swear a month later, another professional turner was the opposite 'Oh, what a shame, you ruined the piece by filling the voids, should have left them natural'.
Now, I only fill them if they need filling to stabilise
Cheers

Cliff, I put a wire wheel in the drill, and with the lathe on, I wire brush the rim at 90 deg to the rim. Then I sand the inside and seal with Sanding sealer without getting any on the rim. The blackening is Ebonising, a solution of vinegar and steel wheel, left for a day. I then dab it onto the timber and the tannins within the timber reacts with solution, and it turns black instantly

Know what you mean about judges varying opinions regarding resin filling . For stuff like that I actually prefer non-filled, and realise you have turned heaps of these, just the crack shown below really worried me. Just goes to show how strong Jarrah is and how little is required to hold it together.
