Rough turned this 9 years ago, comes from a large White Elm I cut up and brought home, it did get a little narrower but everything else was unchanged.
So returned it and put some Polymerized Tung Oil on it, looks quite good I think :)

I like the tray. The wood is so clear and the grain so uniform. The design appears simple and clean, but there's a lot there.
I've only been able to upload one photo at a time for awhile now. I though it was me or my browser.
Must have been a very large tree! This piece is all quarter sawn, which would explain minimal movement. Very nice!Quote:

Always like seeing what you come up with Leo and as usual this piece is beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work! As mentioned the grain is fantastic. I love the way white elm turns and looks when done, but I hate the smell.
What is the size of your pictues? Size may be limiting how many you can loasd at once.
