[Jim Ketron]

Yea me to Loy!:D
Nice Job Mark! Beautiful wood bud!

[Keith Burns]

Great looking platter and we know it's yours because of the great foot. Guess I'll have to make a platter so I can play on "platter day":D .

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Won't be able to make a platter fo platter day...............maybe next time. Around here they call Hackberry a "junk" tree. Personally, I like it!

You make it look pretty!

That sure is a wonderful platter Mark, great job.:)

[John Hart]

I'm with Keith....I need to get busy and do a platter so I'm not left out next time!!!:( That Hackberry is pretty stuff Mark. Where'd you get it?

[Sparky Paessler]

Interesting colors in that one Mark. I need to try a platter sometime althought on my little jet it might could only be a plate. I need to get me a big lathe like you Powermatic guy's..

MArk,

I need to come take lessons from you! When I try hackberry, which is very common in TN, it never looks this good and I usually have lots of tearout and sanding problems. Its like trying to turn soft white pine...

[Mike Ramsey]

That is nice! Kinda like looking thru a telescope at one of the planets ;) .

[Jim Becker]

Mark, you picked a good form for that piece of wood...it doesn't interrupt the wonderful coloration. Great job!

[Bill Stevener]

Mark, the color is outstanding, as the finish you have applied really brings it out. The form is perfecta.
Great work, Bill,>>>>>>>>>>>:)
