Ash or Maple board/plank

[Paul Hadley]

I'm looking to turn a platter, finished size minimum 2" thick, 14" diameter.

Hopefully out of ash or maple.

Does anyone know where I could buy an oversized square/round slab or 2 that can be turned down to those sizes please?

i'l see if i have anything like that kicking around. i won't want much for it if i have one and as long as you pay postage you are welcome to it.

Marvellous, thank you.

Where are you based?

[se7enthdevil]

will you consider other platter blanks if i can't find exactly what you desire???

 

i know i've things like elm, iroko, mahogany, oak and probably other species here.

I've got some that size, but it is buried under about 20 tons of split logs so can't get to it until maybe the spring. If you still need it by then let me know

Mark- Birmingham.

 

Steve- right now I'll consider anything- I'm struggling to find a slab of anything suitable at that sort of size without buying a large amount. The reason I said ash was because it has a tight grain, and is usually relatively easy to obtain. Also, the majority of the top face will be painted, so it seems a shame to paint over something with a real character to it (but I guess that's maybe just me being sentimental etc).

 

Will- thank you, will do.

I'm miles away. Good luck.

Tried ringing stiles and bates? Based in Dover but I know they will ship.

Dave the owners your man to speak to.

Thank you Mr Squirrel. Hadn't heard of them before and it looks like I'm sorted via them.
