    Cherry burl platter

    I kept this one simple to let the wood speak on it's own! Let me know what you guys think. Found this burl at a friends lot he was clearing to build a home! Gotta love free!

    Mighty pretty, Kurt. I agree, let the wood do the talking!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Oy, Kurt, that's one great looking piece of wood you've got there. The form sets it off quite well!
    That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.

    Really nice. And I agree that fancy wood needs a simple form. Great job of turing.
