My SWMBO goes treasure hunting at yard and estate sales. Last week she
brought home an octagonal wooden platter with a rich reddish-brown glossy
finish. On the back it appears to have what may be a makers signature and
"Madeira."

Can you tell us what the wood is?

The pix are in ABPW.

Thanks.

Madeira simply means wood in Spanish but I guess you knew that.
