Burled, Spalted, & Beautiful - Incredible Ambrosia Maple Platter

Описание: 🔗 Check out my Etsy store – The Olive Wood Guy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheOliveWoo...

What happens when you take a massive chunk of ambrosia maple—full of spalting, curls, worm trails, and more attitude than a caffeinated raccoon—and slap it on the lathe? You get this platter. Equal parts elegant and chaotic, this thing fought me the whole way... and I think it won a few rounds.

This wood had it all: tiger stripes, spalting that looked like abstract art, and even some surprise burls just hanging out like they owned the place. But with a little patience (and a lot of sanding), I managed to coax out one seriously stunning piece.

💬 Drop a comment if you’ve ever had a piece of wood humble you. I won’t judge—this one certainly kept me on my toes.

My signature combo of food-safe oil and a touch of magic (and probably some shop dust).
