Well Woody,  24hrs ... 34 hits and 19 views .. an this the first comment.

You came up with a really nice board of Ash, nice mix of grain and color, which had to be pleasure to unfold as the forms took shape, 3 of your finesse... will grace any table or display.

Are they functional and you used a food safe oil or not.

Cheers   David

Hi Woody,

Nice platters, always good to see the grain run through them as a set.

I did the same a long time ago (posted one to the forum). Always hoped they would sell as a set, no such luck and it was the middle one that sold first as well. Never mind.

Trust yours don't hang around too long.

Oh, btw, good to see you in the photo, you are looking very well,good to see.

Bryan.
