Trays and Boxes by Jim Rutledge



I haved turned a number of wooden platters approximately 12 to 15 inches with a carved or burned in theme such as eagles, loons and turtles.  The one pictured has brook trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout and is decorated using the phantom basket technique. 

The platter is decorated on the back with some burned in flies and fly rods.




The small boxes shown are patterns from a book on turning boxes by Chris Stott.  Chris was a presenter at the St. Paul Symposium in St. Paul, Mn. last year.  I enjoyed his demonstration and turning technigues and finally bought his book and took the time to turn some of his recommended patterns.  The average size is 3 x 3.
