Platter From Queensland Silky Oak
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Platter From Queensland Silky OakI was given some pieces of Silky Oak from my good Neighbour and Friend 2 doors up the road, he was chucking out an Old Bed. So after gluing it into four squares I was able to create Two square Boards. But to ensure the glued joints held securely I glued with the joints crossing across the bottom board. Thus achieving two blanks around 2 inches thick. Although this would mean each blank would have the grain running this way and that way. Anyway I think it worked and to a basic woodworker like me it was a really good learning experience.
I still have the second Blank and in the process of completing the second Platter.
Kev and Kath will Grin from ear to ear, when I give them the PlattersThe platter was glued with TiteBond 3. My favourite glue. It was finished with CABOTTS Bench Top Food Safe Varnish. I think it was 4 coats and rubbed lightly between coats with 0000 Steel Wool. I must admit Steel Wool worries me a bit, but I always wear a mask just to protect my throat and lungs.Almost Forgot….Platter is 9 inches Diameter and 1 1/2 inches Deep.Kind regards to all Lumber Jocks…...Cliff.
