Very nice!

What, no termites? They must only be spindle termites. You'll need to train some up for bowls and platters. Nice control with the chainsaw.

The grain looks lovely.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

PS - Is this dyed at all? My color blind eyes detect something, I think.

Nice platter and interesting design; I see it doesn't go all the way around.

You did say you used a chainsaw file - not a chainsaw - didn't you?

I'm very impressed - it's a really pretty piece!
and what the heck is an eggbeater drill??

Hi Cathy..do you know of eggbeaters? Hand powered? It's a drill that uses acircle handle that you turn to make the drill bit go around. Guess most folks haven't seen these since electricity became popular!
