Very pretty platter Stan! Love curly maple and the multiple colors of the shells really bring the whole thing to life! Very nice work!

Now that is unique. I really like it. Did you turn the shell after it was inlaid, or was everything turned and then inlay the shell?

It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

Very nice platter, Stan.
Walk fast and look worried.

Very nice indeed. Inlay is one of the things on my "wish I could do that" list.

Stan,
Nice job on a good looking platter...the inlay adds just the right amount of color to the overall piece. Makes it jump out at ya a bit. Good work.

Great job!! Never tried any inlay work on a turning yet but you have inspired me!!
If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

That is a beauty Stan. Really like the rim inlay.

That's a real beauty Stan. I like the Abalone ring. Very nice touch.

Thank you for the comments.
Brian - I turned the platter and then inlaid the shell.
