    Cheese Platter

    Here is a maple Cheese or Chip & Dip platter I made. I have a small bowl which still has finish drying. It is 13 1/2" across with 5 3/4" marble in the middle. It was finished with General Finishes Seal-A-Cell and 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal the buffed. The cheese knife handle I also turned. I sold the other two I made for $70 ea.

    All that's missing now is the wine!

    Interesting idea with the marble inside.

    That's a nice piece Bernie. I think I may have to try and copy it. Where do you get the round marble?

    That is really nice Bernie... and in the first pic, it's interesting how the vein in the marble lines up with the grain in the wood... kind of threw me in the thumbnail pick... "why is the center of that platter white?"

    Super platter. I have access to a local potter who will throw any diameter needed. You can even have some say about glazes.

    Tom I added a couple of profile pictures. Sorry about the pictures but it is just to cold to go out and take pictures in the tent.
