Hello all this is a cherry platter with a curly maple stripe and 2 small strips of walnut between them. It's about 13 1/2".
This is the platter from the "real men of genius" post
sorry about the pics but I did't think my back drop was big enough in my photo tent for this so I didn't pull it out. the pics are an optical illusion and the rim is the same size all the was around. I just added one more I set the tent up but it's still not great
thanks for looking,
Bob

Great Idea Bob. That's a real beautiful piece. I'm sure you're in for many compliments on this one.

Very nice. I like the wood combinations and a nice variation to the standard platter.

Glad you were able to sand out the "small scratches". Looks like it paid off, beautiful platter.

It looks like something I could try with pieces I have in the shop!
Beautiful piece!

Very nice Bob. I sometimes think we have too high expectations of our thread pictures. Unless you are using them to enter some juried show,or are trying to show some bit of detail, your pix look fine to me.

Very nice Bob, Would you mind giving a brief description of how you glued up the blank for this? What thickness wood did you use? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Alan

it was quite simple, it is all 4/4 stock and the thin strips of walnut were just a rip cut on the tablesaw. and then just glued up like any panel.
