There are 2 kinds of woodworkers. I’m the kind that cuts wood with spinning sharp objects like saw blades … and my brother-in-law Steve is the other kind.
He thinks it’s a good idea to spin wood at a very high rate of speed … and hold a sharp object against that wood to make it conform to his desires.
He’s crazy.
So, a perfect collaboration was born. I do my thing, and he does his thing. The pictures below are what resulted.
The spindles (from Steve) are made from walnut; the routed platters (from me) for the 3-tier are red oak. The 4 Sauce routed servers are hard maple (from me), with walnut handles (from Steve).
I did the routed platters … Steve did the turned spindles.
I’m really not happy with my wood selection for these platters … the wood is not well-matched; it’s got lots of odd coloring. I was choosing wood from the back of the cut-off section, I know. I made it work … and the result is not pretty. IMHO.
This 4 Sauce server is good as is, or can hold 4″ ramekins in each section. Either way, it’s good for sauce or pizza prep.
This is a 2nd 4 Sauce server, with a smaller handle.
