Elm Platter

[Big Beech]

A round that I flattened with my router sled, been cooking in the wife's greenhouse all summer and is nice and dry!

540 x 370 x 50

Sanded to 120 and wet sanded at 120.

Three coats of mineral oil, and some small areas stabilised with CA glue. Supplied with soft rubber feet.

Hopefully this one is sold already.

It’s a £45 platter, not £450. There’s next to no money in it as it is.

Regular wood worker I sell to,and I have regular pricing debates.
He’s wondering why his elm, burr oak etc clocks aren’t selling for £30 each.
I told him at that price, people think it’s fake!
He took all his stock off internet,
Tripled his prices!!!!
Clocks are selling really well now!
Couldn’t make this shit up!

£45 to cheap, personally I wouldn't use c.a glue, definitely go down the resin route to fill , that wouldn't cost much more for that small amount. Nice slab of timber tho.

Depending upon how you look at it.

I threw it in the greenhouse and forgot about it, 15 minutes with the router and 20 sanding on a wet afternoon.

Easy bit of money

There was only a small part that I did, I had it to hand so that was what I used. Its right inside a crack, that van be seen in the first picture right down the bottom

No I get that.

But it still needed milled then stored, then flattened then sanded then pics taken then advertised. £45 seems fair and I doubt you’d get much more but in my opinion there’s very little money in. They’ve paid you an hours wage and the Platter was free.
