Spalted hackberry: shallow bowl or deep platter?

[Curtis O. Seebeck]

Here is a piece made from Spalted Hackberry Crotch. I am not sure if I shoudl call it a shallow bowl or a deep platter! It is 15" in diameter and 1 1/2" tall. The finish is Deft Gloss Lacquer.

Honest critiques welcome!

I believe its a Blatter. Peautiful wood and form.

[Ed Scolforo]

Very pretty. It could be used in many ways.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Curtis that is a beauty. That wood is really nice. I also like the form.

[Mike A. Smith]

I'll call it gorgeous and let it go at that.

[Mark Pruitt]

Very nice, Curtis!

And I would definitely prefer to call it a deep platter. Somehow that just sounds sexier than shallow bowl.;) :rolleyes: :p

[Mike Vickery]

Very nice looking piece Curtis.

[Tom Sherman]

Love that deep Platter Curtis.

[Evan Stockton]

I'll echo Mike Smith - Gorgeous!

[George Guadiane]

I think that should about cover it!

[Allen Neighbors]

I made one from Ash, about those proportions... called it a 'charger'. :D
Absolutely beautiful piece, Curtis
