Thread: Platter

Flash Hughie!

Lovely carving, Timber looks ..... Silky or Banksia...........Maybe

Xtra noice!!!

Would make a great wall hanging.

All done on the lathe?

Very different, I was expecting a standard run of the mill platter but you've surprised me. The more I look at it the more I like it. Great work

Looks fantastic Hughie Might be better to make it a wall hanging though - wouldn't like to be trying to clean guacamole dip out of the carved bits

Very smart looking platter Hughie, I agree it would make a very nice wall piece.

Great piece Hughie.Your work is never run of the mill.
Ted

Very nice.

How did you do the carving?

Great piece the carving really sets it off

Thanks for all the positive comments. As I said I dont do very many platters if any at all so its good to get the feed back.
Its all hand carved with a fair bit of sanding especially across the end grain. Luckily the timber is soft and easy to work unlike the Eucalyptus bowl previously.

Phil spoke to the guy who supplied the pieces and yes it Banksia.
