Black Ash Burl Platter

This is a Black Ash burl with dyes and a lacquer finish, about 8.5" x 1.5" I had never worked with Black Ash burl before, so this is a practice piece to become familiar with it before tackling a larger hollow vessel of the same wood.

Really stunning Ric! Where did you get the burl piece from?

Thank you Gabriel. This platter was from a small slab. I also have a full burl about the size of a basketball that I will make a hollow vessel from. I found both pieces of wood on eBay. My understanding is that Black Ash is most common in the Minnesota and Michigan area.

Ric, I have to tell you whe I saw this piece in the SWAT Makers Gallery, I had to pick it up and hold it in my hands. This was one of the most impressive pieces at the Symposium. Absolutely beautiful design. The perfect way to display that beautiful grain/figure. I've never seen a more gorgeous burl.
