Coastal Jarrah Platter

[Willy Nelson]

Good Morning All
Done a heap of turning, over 50 platters and bowls. Still to turn the bums off them, but here is one I completed a couple of weeks ago.
The burl is quite is very pinky in colour and the platter is 37cm across. Finished with 10 coats of DO

Thanks for looking

Very nice platter there Willy:2tsup::2tsup: Where do you get your burls from and how come your DO is a matt finish. Rippa

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Nice!

Is that a chip at round 1 o'clock? Bummer, but you work with what you've got, eh? Still very nice; it'd look good on our dining table. :D

(And Rippa? 'Tis easy to put a satin or matte finish on DO. The simplest way is to cut it back after the final coat, with something like EEE. :wink: It's actually more work to obtain a consistent glossy finish... unless you're using a DO doped with PolyU. :shudder: )

Very nice Willy :2tsup: Is 'Coastal Jarrah' another species or just an indicator of where it grew up :?

Trees! They grow on Trees! Okay, sorry about that. I sometimes cut them from private property or I buy them at the Harvey Auctions. This one I know is from Havey by the lighter colour. As for the DO, maybe the camera didn't pick up to much sheen, but it is a satin finish, in my opinion

Hey Vern
The light pink Jarrah is referred to a 'Coastal' Jarrah right or wrong due to the colour. It can also be called 'New Growth' Jarrah

They way I heard it from the arborist I work with coastal Jarrah is a sub species also know as blue tipped leaf Jarrah. It's generally smaller and more multi-trunked an has more of the deep red brown colour to it than regular jarrah. Big trunks are now quite rare but I have milled a couple of medium sized logs (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f132/blue-tipped-leaf-jarrah-74893/) - the fresh timber can even have a purple scarlet look to it but unfortunately it does not last.

Ha Ha, we also have the same saying from that same company here.

Maybe you just had a 'Man' look.
