    Default The platter

    Finally finished the platter, had a few interruptions that slowed down progress. Couple of small hiccups but it turned out better than I thought it would. Fairly happy with this one. Mostly Queensland maple with ash and black walnut rim. The inner pattern is yellow walnut red cedar and black walnut. 310 mm diameter and 30mm high.

    Jim, great job.

    The Victorian chapter might have to fly you down for a demonstration of how you do the segments!

    Whoohoo, what a beauty.
    It reminds me of a kaleidoscope image.

    Can't imagine how you worked all that out.

    Cheers,

    Looks great from here Jim! Would love to see some larger, closer upper pictures. I think it's more about persistence than patience. You just keep on keepin' on until you finally get there. Much of the work is actually tedious and repetitive, but you keep on, perhaps driven by your vision of the end result. Just a thought.
