Beautiful piece.

[Brice Rogers]

WOW !!!

How did you do that? Is it a surface inlay or does it go all the way through.

[Damon McLaughlin]

Very nice, I really like the form

[Tom Giacomo]

Very nice work, looks great.

[Brian Brown]

Nice wood, great platter, and I love the inlay. Definitely not just another platter.

[John A Murray]

Beautiful...love the inlay

[Van Huskey]

This begs the question of what "not just another platter" would look like...

Gorgeous work!

[Adam Petersen]

That's beautifully done. I really like the finish and color. The transition between the rim to the bottom is sharply done. Nice work.

Beautiful work Willem! Exceptionally clean inlay and the natural contrast between woods used is striking! The only thing I would like to see changed is for you to upload the image to SMC so that it stays part of this thread. Anything happens to your Photobucket account (and it has happened to many), we lose the image and your thread is rendered useless. Please consider it.

What a lovely piece!

[Mike Budzynski]

Incredible piece and is praiseworthy!

Many thanks for all the complements. Previous question, the inlay was done with double bevel marquetry, using a scroll saw. The inlay thickness is 3/32".

Thank you Willem!

[Richard Dooling]

Very very nice!
It reminds me of a hard edge sumi-e painting.

Really cool effect using the platter's darker wood for the shadow. Mind posting a pic of the platter's back?

That is a humbling piece of work. Certainly not "just another."

Stunning platter! I was hoping someone would ask " Do you know who the inlay is of " I gotta know.
Great work.
