    Default Blackwood Platter

    A recent platter I finished. Made from 3 pieces, with the natural edge/sap wood retained. Voids were filled with gumnuts and epoxy resin. It measures 470mm diam.

    Brendan,

    Wow! That is nice. I like the dark, light contrasts.
    So much timber, so little time.

    Hello George
    Despite living in suburban areas, I would suggest that gum nuts abound everywhere. May I suggest a walk around your neighborhood, especially parks where larger trees may be found. Keep your eyes open whenever you are driving, out in the country, know anyone with a farm?

    Hello Brendan
    Stunning looking platter, well done. What are the timbers? Black Wattle?

    At the recent Perth Wood Show, I become what I believe to be the owner of the first Vicmarc Grinding system in WA. The purchase was partly due to your review on Youtube, which I need to look at again, so thanks for the piccy of the platter and your efforts on Youtube

    Sincerely
    Willy

    Thanks Willy. In my area of the gold coast it's mainly palm trees so not many nuts. I will have a look around some of the older areas.

    Even though there are plenty of positive comments I need to add my 2c as well. Awesome job, love it.

    Cheers, Ian
