Might have accidentally put the carmera on 'tungsten' for the last three shots.

The platter.

Very nice. Thats a fair size bowl . You were turning some big lumps of air there.

That is a beautiful piece of work. Bet the sanding was carefully done, all fingers present and accounted for. Congratulations. Where did you score the blank?

[smiife]

hi ted and michael,
yes i still have all my finger tips,although some
were a bit sore the burl i bought from
a artsy crafty show type thing in dorrigo it was the only one
there i also scored some cedar and rosewood at the same time
cheers smiife

Great looking platter !
I think the white balance (daylight / fluorescent / incandescent etc) on your mobile phone camera may be responsible for the difference in images.

That is a beautiful burl (burr). I like the fact that you've set the feature bead such that it does not all fall on the surface but in part looses to the natural shape.

Well done.
