Great Basin Poplar Platter

11”ø x 1.5”h

Ordered some gorgeous figured GBP from Gary DeHeer earlier this year, but wasn’t sure what I’d make with it. Decided to turn my first platter in three years 😅 Kept the shape simple so as not to distract from the amazing figure and chatoyance.
Great looking wood for sure! Makes investing in a coring tool worth it…the pros make it look easy. I’m headed to Maui in a few weeks; I’m pretty sure some wood is going to follow me home, lol!! This site will be revisited!
 
One of the garbage woods here in Utah. However if you can find a nice figured piece like you have, it can be amazing.
