Wowsers. That must've been one glorious lump of wood!
The figure in the first one is stunning! A beautiful piece, your choice of form enhancing the grain... from what I can see, I love it!
The second rather reminds me of a "Blue Willow" patterned dining plate. I think this is because of the internal banding. Was that a deliberate choice? All in all, also stunning.
But the third... Well... the colour contrast just doesn't do it for me. Sorry. Was there a specific reason you went that way, or were you just experimenting?
(Oh... and it'd be nice to also see back/side views of the platters. Y'know, so we can have a chance to find a "real" fault somewhere to placate our pride. )

Sensational stuff! The second one is quite outstanding!

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Exotics are fun but with timber like this in the UK, we're blessed with our own beautiful woods, wonderful finish, well done.

Thank you for all of your kind comments
these platters were made from 1 1/4" boards so there just shy of that thickness now
the 3rd one was a bit boring in the middle so i tried rubbing some black patina wax in to highlight the grain patternMY WEBSITE
