Vases and Platters

I have a customer that commissions me each year to make Christmas presents for her family. The three platters are for her twin sister. The vases are for her family.

Two of the platters are maple (14 incheswith a "5-5" cattle brand inlay. The third platter is cherry (12 inches) with the same "5-5" inlay. Back of each platter is fluted.

The vases are out of black walnut approx 7 by 11 inches to 10 by 13.5 inches. Each has an inlay of the "H" (Haynes logo and cattle brand.

All finished with lacquer and buffed.

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

These are pretty good looking. I'm thinking that she won't balk at all when you give her your price. Great when a customer asks for something and gets more than what they were expecting. 8-)
