silky oak platter

Nice turning for a first. Don’t be afraid to take it a little thinner. Maybye get a gauge. Lets you know you much wood you have without taking it off and looking. You’ll learn as you go along. But you did very well for a start. My first sure didn’t look that good. lol.

Great first piece, you will go thinner as you get better but a good friend of mine Allen Battey told me once “Turn one thin to show them you can then turn the rest the way you want.”

i like the timber but it makes me sneeze
