I love turning platters. They allow the grain and figure in a nice piece of wood to really show off. From left to right: 15" Sycamore Maple ( a Maple whose leaf closely mimics the Sycamore/London Plane) Next, a 15" Great Basin Poplar ( also called Mormon Polar) And lastly, 20" Texas Cedar Elm. ( Also known as Rock Elm) This one was particularly challenging as part of it was vey spalted and almost punky soft. The rest of it was truly "rock" Elm...HARD...very hard wood.
