    Wedding Platter

    Here's the wedding platter I made for my daughter and her new husband. It's walnut, 15 1/4" diameter, and finished with satin wipe on poly and then buffed. The inlays are maple. They got married in San Diego, on a cliff overlooking the ocean.Part of their ceremony involved releasing doves, so I thought it would be cool to incorporate doves into the platter. Don Baer recommended fellow Creeker Pete Simmons to do the laser work. I'm very happy with Pete's work, and he was very accomodating when working with me through the design process. I plan to present this platter at the reception we're having for the newleyweds in two weeks. Thanks for looking. Ed
