Beautiful plate. I really like the grain and color.
If you plan on using it you should apply some mineral oil and allow it to really soak in, then it can be washed. I use myrtle plates for eating and they are oiled regularly and still hold up well and it's been years.

You said turned from sections of a 5/4 board??Could you elaborate on that??Were they glued up sections?Just curious.Really nice work I am thinking of turning a few myself thats why I am asking.

Sorry the "s" was a typo. The original board is 9" wide. I cut a section 9" long. Used a bandsaw to rough out a circle.

I bet that made a nice red mess all over!

The plate looks nice, especially with the little bit of contrast (sap wood) it pops it out.

Great form and wood selection. I really like the contrast between the heartwood and the sap wood.
I love the look of Padauk, but don't love working with it. I always end up looking like a refugee from a Cheetos factory.

Looks great. Nice grain in that one. Since you have a board I assume you are going to make a set now.

Did my wife put you up to that? :biggrin:
The plate was turned from some of the left overs from another project. If I had turned the plate first, she might have got a set.

I love the constrast betweent heart wood and sapwood. I love the smell that Paduak has, I have made several pens from it and have thought of purchasing an entire board from a local supplier

Excellent form, shape, and use of leftovers (not the food kind either). Get more wood and make SWMBO a complete set. Get enough that all the pieces match ... you can use the original one as a pattern.
