January 21, 20206 yr Had a interesting afternoon. Got some wood on shop floor stating to crack so had to do something. Decided on platters, yes it is big. This first in pecan is 15 inch. Had to split this one with saw and there was a bit of something slowing the cut which I discovered was two nails. One half will be maybe small bowls. This is the front and back of the pecan. Has some nice color. This is the bradford pear . A crotch with two junctions and flame and curl. Hope to finish this one tomorrow
January 21, 20206 yr Do you think something like AnchorSeal would help with the cracking/splitting? I used it on some pear and had some good results. That pear platter looks neat. Thanks, Gerald.

This has been in my shop stacked since late last spring so the cracks were no as bad as it could have been. This blank was about 6 inches thick and the crack only went down 3 so that was not too bad after sawing the blank in half still have some left.
