Excuse the Picture Quality. I must be photographically challenged. It didn't look this bad for uploading. Edges are actually smooth and not jagged as they appear in the picture.

Nice looking platter, roundwood. The jagged edges are the result of lowering the resolution too far. What program are you using to reduce your file sizes? The best one I have found so far is called Photoresizer400. It is a free download from this link: http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

I was wondering about the color. Is it accurate, or reflecting the blue background? Actually, I like the platter.

Bob, thanks for the links, I will check them out.
Grey Hackle - It may be reflecting some of the background. The platter has light colored wood and the heart wood has the typical greenish brown tint of popular.

Photo tip: Never use a blue background. Use gray, black, or very light tan.

The plate's nice.
