Hmmmmmmmm...........maybe I will have to re-think that. My Black Walnut
flat lumber is 4/4, but not very wide. I have some boards that are perhaps
8" or 9" inches, but not nearly wide enough for a platter. Maybe a bread &
butter plate?

Thanks, Barry for the compliment on my walnut platter. By the way,
you mentioned having dry lumber but didn't think it was thick enough to
turn anything. The piece I turned that platter from was 1" thick to
start. I got it from Barbara Gill, she has a sawmill in VA and a
number of turners buy from her.
