Wire stained Walnut platter

This platter is among the first of several finished pieces from a large Walnut score back in Feb of this year. The huge Section of log it came out of had several strands of barbed wire buried deep within. There was a pretty dark purple stain all around the wire, which I hoped would retain the color throughout turning and finishing. Afraid the purple was black once the turning was done but still seems to add some interest to the piece. 15.5X2.5 or so and finished with multiple coats of Formbyâ€™s tung oil, buffed and Ren wax.

The wire stain does give it great interest. I love it. Glad you didn't try to do too much with it. Simple lines that allow the wood speak its mind. Beautiful finish, as usual. Great job all the way around. 8^)
