A maple decorative platter.

This is soft maple, about 12" diameter and 1/8" thick. Turned, burned, and pierced to simulate an open weave basket weave.

Thank you very much. At this point I haven't considered selling it. It's my plan to submit it for a local art show in a couple of months. The show is for local artisans and in a gallery where I'd like to get my foot in the door. Depending on how it's received I'll go from there.

The others said it all.  All I can say is your burning is now impeccable.

If you get to buy it you will have a very nice piece!
Yes
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Steve,

That is excellent.

I like to consider myself a developing craftsman with aspirations to grow to artisan. I do not have any expectation of ever moving beyond that to artist.

You, sir, are an artist.

v/r,
Ivan
