Good evening everyone
Ken Salisbury probably thought this day would never come. Last year Ken showed up at the Five Barns Picnic with the prettiest piece of curly cherry I had ever seen. It was for me I promised hi I would do something special with it, but that meant sitting on it (not literally!) and thinking about it. Well the muse finally took hold a few weeks ago, and I turned a plate out of a section of the board. I took pictures, but they did not come out well, as the figure was not displayed. I took some more tonight with a new set up, and this time they worked. They still do not do total justice to the wood figure, but then again, I have never seen a picture that does.

Here it is. This plate is approximately 11" in diameter and 3/4" high. Finish is Watco Danish Oil, and buffed with a Beall system.
Thanks for looking, and Ken, thanks again for such a beautiful piece of wood.
