    Crotch Curly Cherry Platter

    This started out as 5/4... I used it as a jamb chuck on another piece (quite a while ago) and then let it sit.
    The platter is 7/8 of an inch high by 11 1/4 inches in diameter.
    Oil Sanded to 600.
    Finished with shellac and bee's wax.

    Comments ans critiques always welcome.

    What a little ball of fire! Nice figure and color. Congrats on a great piece.
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    Beautiful George. Wow is that wood doing some talking. I agree with Tyler. What a ball of fire.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
