Thread: Shallow Fig Bowl / Platter

Beautiful Platter Rod Congratulation, I didn't realize Fig had such beautiful features,

Cheers Tony.

Thank you Tony,
I have some more of the same slab so I hope to do a couple of others slightly smaller. It does have some nice grain when I first mounted it rough sawn I thought it was white cedar only when I started turning I realized it was one of the fig's.
Regards Rod.

Lovely work Rod. Elegant shape.

Beautiful shape and execution

Nice job Rod, which fig tree was it?
Jim

Thanks for the kind words guy's. I can't tell you which fig Jim I found it under the shed at our wood work group it has been there for a long time but I am sure it isn't blue fig( the one with blue fruit commonly known as Cudgera around the Tweed similar grain but usually very white ) it's to dark for that.
Regards Rod.

Rod, I asked because the native figs up this way are very pale coloured and have a conspicuous medullary ray, quite different from your piece.
