Curly maple platter with paua shell inlay

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very pretty platter Stan! Love curly maple and the multiple colors of the shells really bring the whole thing to life! Very nice work!

[Brian Effinger]

Now that is unique. I really like it. Did you turn the shell after it was inlaid, or was everything turned and then inlay the shell?

Very nice platter, Stan.

[Rich Boehlke]

Very nice indeed. Inlay is one of the things on my "wish I could do that" list.

Stan,
Nice job on a good looking platter...the inlay adds just the right amount of color to the overall piece. Makes it jump out at ya a bit. Good work.

Dog gone Stan... I almost missed this one. Looks great!

That's a real beauty Stan. I like the Abalone ring. Very nice touch.

Thank you for the comments.

Brian - I turned the platter and then inlaid the shell.
