Here is a maple plate I made. It is 11" across. It is finished with Minwax Antique Oil then buffed. I have 3 more to make then after 30 days to cure will be put into service at my table according to the LOML.

That maple sure has some pretty grain to it. Nice form,excellent finish and color. I agree this is a nice addition to the chip and dip platter...Bill..

Bernie, how thick was the stock that you turned that from?
The figure is nice without being overpowering.

Jake that was 8/4 stock already kiln dried. I found a piece at Beautiful Woods in Denver and he gave me a pretty good price. I figured it was 48" long plus the only one he had in that size and said he hadn't sold it for quite a while. I jumped on it because it would make a set of 4 plates.Originally Posted by Jake Helmboldt
Dewy and Bill when the other 3 are done they will be dinner plates according to SWMBO.

Bernie,
That is a good looking plate. I'll be watching to see the completed set. I too, would like to see a profile pic.
I see you live in Goodland, Ks, I grew up down I-70 from you in Oakley--live in Oklahoma now.

Bernie,
Great wood and a super plate! Do you intend to eat directly from them or use them as chargers to hold ceramic/china plates? Either way, they will be a nice set!
Member
Very nice, Bernie. Same pecking order here!Can't wait to see the completed set.
All the best.

Great work Bernie. That maple is luminous.
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

Thanks for the kind comments. When I saw the board 8/4 stock I knew it was going to make some nice plates. I am hoping to complete the others this weekend and next depending on time.
Ted theses plates are going to be eaten off of. I have a cereal bowl with Antique Oil I have eaten out of now for over a year and still looks good. I had several e-mails back and forth with Ernie Conover. That is the only finish he uses on all his utility stuff.
