    Walnut platter

    Walnut platter that's been roughed a while and I just got around to finishing. 11 1/2" diameter by 1 1/2" tall. Watco finish then buffed.

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Sheeeesh...Just when I think it might be safe to post one of my meager attempts at turning, I see stuff like this!!! Wonderful job on the platter, Travis and you couldn't have picked a prettier piece of Walnut!

    That is gorgeous. I love the form....the graceful curves in the profile, and the small lip around the inside. Just beautiful.
