Woodturning - Large Oak Burr Platter

[@brucecraig4954]

Dear Mike your style you attention to detail and your passion is evident and always entertaining. What I appreciate the best is you don’t babble about safety and other dribble like many others. You find a nice piece of wood and you turn it into something nicer. Keep up the good work and keep creating content. Cheers

I love watching you work. I always learn something. This time was removing punky areas and stabilizing them. Neat idea to use color to fill some cracks. Enjoy your technique. Thanks

Beautiful platter, Mike! Great job and I don't blame you for filling that crack. It would have been a shame for it to come apart.

Thank you, that crack was going to cause problems I'm sure of it. 🙂

[@douglasperry1226]

Good to see ya Mike! Nice turning on that burl. Got a question for you. Instead of CA have you tried epoxy? Takes much more time but is stronger bond than CA. Let me know what you think?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Doug, I don't like using epoxy ... just a personal thing!

[@dtork47]

Very nice piece Mike. Wonder how that citrus oil work, drying time? Stay safe.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you .. it cures in a few days. Thanks for watching.
