Walnut Platter

This is an 18" English Walnut platter. It was a pretty ugly big slab with a lot of voids when I got it. I originally had plans to do some pyrograghy or carving on it until the grain reviled itself and I chickened out. Couldn't do it. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

This may be a novice question, but, how did you stain it? The green is perfect with the walnut. Beautiful work.

As with all your work, this bowl and platter are excellent. Work such as yours inspires me to keep going.

Thanks so much guys!

Bob, The platter was all done and sanded when I added the green dye. Full strength, one coat. I lightly touched up the two border cuts and that was it.
Thanks for asking, Don L.
