Myrtle platter and Tulip poplar bowl

[Frank Parker]

These are a couple of pieces I finshed today, the Myrtle is 11-3/4" by 1-3/8" with a wall thickness of 3/16". The Tulip Poplar is 10-1/8" by 2-5/8" with a wall thickness of 3/16. For some reason everything I do seems to have a wall thickness of 3/16". Both were finished with Tung oil than buffed out with the Beale buffs. I also roughed out 8 bowls today, boiled 6 and got 2 soaking in dna. They are English Walnut, Black Willow, and Honey locust.

From what I've been told it's caused by mineral staining.
