This was a fun and challenging piece for me. After seeing some pieces by Pat Miller and others where the backside of a burl cap is left intact, I thought it would be a fun thing to try. The back of this platter features a few burl points (eyes?) that are spaced perfectly as three feet would be. I used hotmelt glue, wood chunks, and a faceplate and plywood disc to mount and turn piece. Once finished, I whittled the back edge with a knife to give some contours and make the burl more visible. I also questionably added a band of green dots, which I somewhat regret. All in all, I learned a lot!
