As part of a larger project, which is the clearing of everything on one of many shelves in my wood storage area, I completed two cherry pieces, one bowl and one platter.  Cherry<\/a> is one of my favorite woods to work with since it cuts fairly clean (although not as clean as Claro Walnut<\/a> which has to be my favorite wood to turn) smells nice, and finishes beautifully with a rosy color.<\/p>\n

The bowl measures 7.5″ x 3″.  It is very standard no-frills cherry which is somewhat plain although perfectly nice.  The bowl presented no real challenges in the making and I am pleased with the results.<\/p>\n

The platter measures 10.5″ x 2″.  This piece of cherry has a lot more going for it when compared to the bowl.  There is a very nice bit of curly and wavy grain figure in this piece which is fairly uncommon in cherry.  I think it adds a great deal of interest.  And, the color is better as well when compared to the bowl.  The bowl color is very uniform and a bit dark whereas in the platter there is a play between very pink and some brown areas.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t guessed yet, I like the platter more.<\/p>\n

All cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool<\/a> system on my Robust American Beauty<\/a> lathe.  Forward chucking was in a Nova Chuck,<\/a> while reverse chucking was done using a Nova Chuck with Cole Jaws<\/a> for the bowl and an Easy Wood Tool Easy Chuck<\/a> with Big Easy Jaws <\/a>for the platter.  Sanding was with Gold and Green Wave sanding discs from Packard Woodworks<\/a>.  Final finish is Cherry Watco Danish Oil<\/a>.  The platter received a top coat of Odie’s Wax<\/a> for added shine and protection.<\/p>\n
