This broadleaf maple platter is 17.5 inches wide X 1.5 inches high, and has a lacquer finish. I made it for a cowboy up in Montana which for years had it as a step going up to his home. He brought it to me while I was turning up there last summer and asked me if I could make something for his wife. You will notice lots of small cracks which were evident before I started turning.

Glenn I have a feeling that the picture does not do this piece justice, it looks great.

Beautiful piece Glenn. Like Tom said I don't think the picture does it justice.
