Rectangular Plate

This piece is a rectangular plate, 8"x9 1/4" x 1 3/4" tall. The wood is maple that I picked up from the church's by-pass property when we took down some trees. The inspiration for this plate is most assuredly oriental, in fact I had a sushi plate in mind. Lots of stuff going on in this piece, worm holes, ambrosia, fiddleback, etc. All works together to give a lot of interest. Finish is several coats of Seal-A-Cell, hand buffed between with 0000 steal wool, finished off with Beall System, and then Ren. Wax. I just sent it off to a benefit auction for a young lady who has recently lost both legs to a rare disease. I hope it brings a great price for her and the family.

Very nice piece, I am sure it will do well.
I recently did a square curly maple piece with lots of spalting and bug holes too. I will try and post a pic

Rev,
That is great on so many levels. Cool wood salvage, great turning and a noble cause. Best of luck to the benefit auction and the young lady it is serving.
