Purple Heart & Maple Platter with Brass Inlay

[Doug Reesor]

I finished off this 16" diameter cemented platter made from purple heart and figured maple. I adapted the braided heart design ftp a Celtic Knot pattern I found in my library of woodworking books.

That's beautiful Doug. What an interesting contrast of the segmented maple and the flowing inlay. I would love to hear more about the inlay process.

Doug, that is a truly nice piece! Very artistic and the brass inlay is well done.

[mike pockoski]

that's some beautiful inlay... i'm guessing it's cnc cut for the inlay?

[Thom Sturgill]

Looks very nice. Is the inlay hand cut? Looks to be just a hint of variation.

[Jeramie Johnson]

Very nice piece.

[David Delo]
