My 2nd Platter ever turned....

[Dennis Peacock]

Since the oval kitchen table is taking for ever and has taken a toll on my nerves, I thought it was time to take a break and turn something that I've only turned one of since I've been turning wood.

Bradford Pear
14" across by 1/8" thick
Danish Oil finish

It won't win any prizes, but I like it. ;)

[Joseph Peacock]

Dennis that is one pretty piece of wood. You did a beautiful job on it.

[Shannon Grizzell]

Nice platter, Dennis. That is some pretty pear wood!

[Terry Quiram]

I know what you mean by taking a break from other things. When I need a "fix" I make some tops. There is nothing like instant gratification. Nice BP platter.

[Don Orr]

Very nice platter Dennis. Turning out something like that sure is great therapy for frazzled nerves.

[Jim Becker]

Nice job, Dennis...and yes, it's good to take a turning break once in awhile. If I could only physically get to my lathe, I'd do the same! (Too many vanities in front of it at the moment...)

[Mike A. Smith]

That's a beauty Dennis!

I like it, and if I had an award to give I would!!! SORRY!

Only critique is a personal opinion. I would prefer, especailly on platters, a duller finish. Not such a high polish/luster. You did excellent on the finish you applied, just not what I would have chosen. Again personal preference, not anything you did wrong.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Impressive platter Dennis! Really like the wood, form and specially the finish! Very nice work!

[Tom Sherman]

I'll tell ya what Dennis I think you should do more Platters. Very nice work.

[Mark Pruitt]

Very well done, Dennis!

[David Epperson]

Dang! That turned out nice. Is that from a piece I've seen before? If so it looks a LOT better now.:D

[Curt Fuller]

That's a beauty Dennis!

[Dennis Peacock]

Dang! That turned out nice. Is that from a piece I've seen before? If so it looks a LOT better now.:D


Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

David...I haven't gotten into the wood I picked up from you yet. But I will before too much longer. :)

Dennis

Beautiful work. How many coats of Danish oil?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very nicely done my friend! Do some more as I'm sure it will help relieve the stress! Very nicely done!
