Ash Platter

[penman]

Hi all

Just spent an hour in the shed Brrrrrr. Still I managed to knock out this little platter.

It is 9 3/4" X 2" Ash, oiled with foodsafe oil.

Hi Malcolm,
A very nice piece, with a lovely piece of wood turned into a potentially very useful item.
Ability at turning is obviously directly linked to having a top name!!

Clean smooth lines, one of those classic forms and ageless pieces, like the positive but low key highlight.

Nice one Malc, any chance of seeing this on Wednesday?

Certainly wasn't an hour wasted Malcolm, I reckon that's a crackin piece. I'd also echo what the other Malc said ; it looks really utilitarian. I can imagine it as a table centre full of fruit or nuts.
Thanks for sharing, John

Bot a big fan of ash but that piece is different. If you are putting it into a competition I thibnk it may classify as a bowl though. Whatever it is ist's a lovely piece of work. Good luck

Very nice Malcolm.
Can I ask how you did the burn ring underneath please which looks very snazzy :lol:
I have only done it before with thin wire but yours looks thicker!.
Cheers

I started by cutting the groove with the side of a 1/4" parting tool then using the wire to burn the wood, when it starts to burn just move the wire gently from side to side in order to burn the edges of the grove.

Very nice indeed ... has a 'big country house kitchen' look to it....
Very 'useable' looking, if you know what I mean.
Its a lovely piece. 8) 8) 8) 8)
