Platter From Rough and Used Offcuts

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Good Morning..When looking at the Beautiful Projects on L J s , I noticed some striped Bowls and Platters and this idea appealed to me. There was an abundant supply of off cuts some of it going back to my Grandfathers Farm some 75 years ago. Here was my chance…...So I cut strips of wood from whatever I could find and trying to achieve some kind of colour coordination.It was intended to be a Bowl but the sizes of the strips I cut determined it to be a Platter. It is 10 inches in Diameter and 1 1/4 inch deep. It is finished with three coats of CABOT'S Bench Top Food Safe Varnish which is Water Based.
There are many old nail holes and Gouges in the Old Wood but I thought next time I may be able to make a filler with saw dust and glue…Do you think that would work???Kind regards,Cliff.
