Diameter 295mm. Finished with transparent acrylic blanc stain decoration.
Was a fun job, sometimes had the idea to throw it through out of the window, but than I realized, oh yeah I'm retired so stay calm.
Was a cream to work with the relative soft yellow pine (very nice smell) and the rock hard merbau.
Cheers, Ad

Ed Reiss 24th April 2010, 11:50 AM Nice design Ad and a good job of segmenting/turning. :2tsup:
Did you run into any sanding problems because of the two different woods density?
Texian 24th April 2010, 03:15 PM Very cool piece Ad. The pine looks very similar to some of the pines found in the U.S.

Thanks Ed, of course that was a pain, solved that sanding problem by using in the first place a thin flat scraper made out of the blade of a racing skate with rounded ends on both sides, and after that slight sanding.

powderpost 24th April 2010, 10:15 PM Nice looking platter Ad. I find that using a piece of that white styrene packing foam as a sanding pad under the sand paper, very helpful with two timbers of different densities. The foam also conforms to the shape of the platter well. Still am interesting design.
