    small platter

    Thought I would have a go at doing a platter, dont normally do anything like this. Its approx 10" dia oiled and hand buffed. The wood I'm not sure of it came from a local native cut down in the park by the council. Soft with a very grain structure and little porous as it soaked up the BLO as fast as I could apply it
