It has been a while since I posted anything. My employer has had me on assignment in Australia. Oh darn! Well I got back in time to turn this walnut platter before Christmas. It measures 16 inches in diameter. I ruffed it out almost a year ago and let it dry to entire time. Anyway, I hope to have more time for woodworking now.

Mike:
I was not able to pick-up any wood in Australia. I was not sure about importing wood into the US. Besides, my company expected me to work when I was over there. Go figure! Oh well the time I did had off was great and the Australin people are fantastic had a great time.
