I love the edges on the first one.
Very unique. A lot of skill involved.

Yes that piece was a bear to work with and you came out on top quite nicely. A beautiful piece. A piece from the days of Rome or the Renaissance? It makes one wonder.

I cant tell but did you turn the platter shape into the slab by turning the raw slab? I’m thinking its two seperate pieces but wanted to share the thought.
You acquire the best woods and show them perfect!

Thanks.

The koa platter is sitting on top of the bristel cone pine table.

Bigwood, do you ever use counter weights for turning uneven pieces?
