Thread: 31 inch bubinga dish

  1. #1

    31 inch bubinga dish

    This is a 31 inch diameter dish in Bubinga
    I was lucky enough to have not totally straight grain which is not so common with Bubinga
    I just used olive oil for the finish
    The shape might look strange, but the order was "a large dish with a nut craker base at the center"

    Really nice. Great grain especially with the sap wood. Where did you get such a large piece? Looks like it must be 2" thick.

    Hey! That's waaaay too little! Do it again!

    Seriously, that's awesome. Where did you find a piece of bubinga that large? The best I can tell, that doesn't look like a glue-up.
