This project was mostly about grabbing a piece of wood off the shelf and thinking, what could I turn out of this? As this was an ambrosia maple 9 inches wide round and 2 inches deep, platter would be perfect for this piece.

Boy had this out today and reminded me to get some pix. 100% wood; Alder, White Oak and Bamboo. Proudest part for me is that he has had 3 months to abuse it, and there is nothing broke yet!! Tires were the most time consuming.

About my finishes
People often ask me about my finishes and I am always wondering about how others do their finish too. I feel the finish is the key to any furniture. A bad finish can destroy the look and the value of a piece. I thought I'd share what I do and what material and equipment I...

Have you ever thought of making the face grain width a little wider and using Biscuit Joints for strength? This would allow for a thinner board with increased strength. I have some 15/16th inch pecan that would make a beautiful cutting board and I'm thinking of giving this a try. Any thought...
