    Post Salmon Gum Burl Platter

    Got this Salmon Gum Burl finally turned and sanded to 400 grit. It measures 325mm x 55mm.
    The finish is spray on lacquer, 4 coats with sanding between 3 & 4.
    C & C Welcome.
    Hope you like it.
    Bob.

    Default Salmon Gum

    Hello Mate
    Lovely looking burl there and nicely finished. As you have invited comments, in my opinion, I would have made the base slightly larger and deepened the platter, I am guessing that the platter will be bottom heavy.
    Lastly, it looks to me to be Jarrah, but that can be the photo, the light, or my old eyes.
    I would gladly swap Jarrah Burl for Salmon Gum
    Overall, I do like it
    Sincerely
    Willy

    Hi Willy,
    Thank you for the comments, they are much appreciated.
