Bubinga Platter

This is an 18" dia. Bubinga platter. Some different texturing on both sides. The bottom was turned on 3 axes to get that effect (4 counting the center position, and thanks to Frank Penta). A lot of fun to turn and finish a rich piece of wood like this. Hope you like it. Finished with Tung Oil and Renaissance Wax. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

Mike - LOL, Thanks my friend. I think you're wood is safe. I bet you'll like turning it as much as I did. The word rich keeps coming to mind. I can just see this wood transformed into some of your gorgeous boxes. Beautiful stuff!
Thanks again,
Don L.

Thanks Dale!
Yea, Frank is really something. As Mike Stafford told me, he's a very generous man and a great ambassador of the craft. Very true.
