At the last meeting of the Richmond Woodturners we had Mike Mahoney do a live remote demo. Among other things he talked about the best Woods for bowls and platters and how to prepare and rough out blanks for platters. I had a big chunk of beech laying beside my driveway and decided to try my hand at some platters. The beech has some nice spalting. I coated my roughed out platters with poly vinyl acetate (Elmer's glue) for drying. I cut some blanks for matching salad bowls that I hope to rough out in a few days. I also cut some pen and bird house ornament sized blanks from the cut offs.
