Here are some chip/dip platters I finished up this morning. The top two are Black Walnut, lower left is Maple and lower right is Willow. The Willow had a large bark inclusion that I filled with coffee grounds. It had lots of tear out and was a pain to finish but the wood was too beautiful to waste. I think it turned out great!
The smaller Walnut one also had some great figure as well. They range from 12" to 16" across and about 2" tall. They are finished with a combination of beeswax and mineral oil.

I almost kept the Willow one for myself but I dropped them all off at Thompson Reuters gift shop this afternoon. I hope they sell!
