18" Maple platter.
Been busy with all kind of things besides moving snow :rolleyes:, but between this that and the other thing, got at least this platter finished.
Manitoba Maple with some spalting. curl and color, about 18" X 2".
Any and all comments are welcome as always :)

Very nice Leo, thanks for posting! Up to now I have only made small little saucers, but I'm gonna try some larger chunks soon!
-
That's fine looking! I like the simple, clean look and lines.
-
Leo, Very nice and simple, great center piece material or wall hanging. The figure is nice and the little bit of spalting is just right.
Nice job,
Jeff

Wonderful piece Leo. I especially like the rim and foot treatment. The wood is beautiful and the form is very pleasing.

Nice platter, has a nice form to it and quite a large platter, 18", wow, thats huge.
-
Good job, you solved the issue of making a platter without it looking too thin. Very nice edge treatment.
-
Super plater Leo! The rim treatment really catches my eye. I think the foot is a little busy, but just MHO. I can only dream about 18", but soon......
-
That is a beauty Leo. Like the form and the rim.

Some good looking maple and plenty of it. I really like the rim & bottom details.

Very nice looking platter, Leo. I sure wish I could get nice Manitoba Maple (Box Elder) around here. Every piece I've gotten that wasn't burl was as plain as white paint. That one has a little of everything in it.

Another wonderful turning Leo! Really like the subtle raised lip! Great looking wood with just enough spalt and curl to make it interesting! Once again - a very clean turning in that you created just enough detail to highlight different portions of the platter! Great example of less is more! Thanks for sharing!

Really like the wood. I like the visual presentation of the top and bottom, but I wonder how much mass is in the platter. It looks like it has a lot of wood out in the rim area with the flat rim area and straight taper from bottom to edge and it makes me curious. This is a curious comment and not critical - I like the platter. Where did you find the wood and was it kiln dried to start?
