Very nice platter! I purchased a piece of Jarrah burl once and turn it completely into wood chips.

Nice turning work!

It looks relly good. I have a question, on the Beall buffing system, how did you get all of the white diamond dust out of the cracks before you put on the final coat of wax?

-- We are the people our parents warned us about.

Re using the Beall System: I charge the wheel sparingly with the white diamond compound and don’t have a problem with white dust in the fissures. I also blow any dust after each grit & buff with compressed air.

Great looking platter Ken, lovely finish. Your right about the butchering of burls, over here in Oz it is hard to get a complete burl cap of Jarrah, the harvester or processor is only interested in the mighty dollar.
