Tom, this is super nice. You shouldn't have! My wife and I are glad you did something so generous as this. 8)

We really appreciate all the hard work, time, and talent you put into this. Gifts are something to be treasured and rest assured we will. Superb job retaining the color too. Thanks Tom!

Nice work Tom, that's awesome wood turning. The color did keep pretty good didn't it?  8)

Very nice platter, Tom.  Do you mind sharing the kind of finish you used on it?  And, how did you keep it from splitting anyway? ??? :)
I do what the little voices in my wife's head tell me to do.

metalspinner...i have been using pentacryl of late instead of end grain sealer fpr elimination of checking on green wood..so far so good..as i have done up approx. 50 green items thus far with virtually no checking in anything..knock on wood :D  as far as the finish goes i use behlens woodturners finish  a super fast drying padding laquer that can be applied on the lathe at low temepatures..it can be laft with a sheen or buffed to a shine..glad you liked the platter kev..i ,ve found lots of new friends on the forum and am sure glad i discoverd the friendlyest site on the net :)

retain more color
You are kidding right ??? :o
Sure don't look like a lot was lost.
You did REAL good with it!

Mooseherder

Isn't kevjay already sleeping in his shop protecting the platter already? ;D

TexasTimbers

"My Precioussssss" ;D Yeah who know what Tom means by retain more color he didn't lose any of it how can he retain more ???

Speaking of the shop Furby you would not recognize it now. Guess what we found in it today? A concrete slab! :D

Furby

You found the slab ??? :o :o :o
We got to see a little peek of it after moving a bunch of stuff to get the mill in there, but to actually find the slab must have taken a bunch of work.
Got pics so you can remember it by ??? ;D

turningfool

just to let you know kevin,the finish used is not food safe so dont be stackin no doughnuts on the platter unless you have a paper plate or something under them :)

Too late. We all just got out of the hospital with near-death experinces. Doc says we barely escaped a lethal dose of "Death by Tainted Doughnuts" :D

Hate to show my ignorance but did anyone say what kind of wood that is? Can you please explain the origin of the color? It's fabulous!
