I received this wood from a friend who had traveled and lived in Venezuela. He had returned with a "bookcase" of beautiful wood, saman. He was moving and need to find a new home for the wood. The wood was already 12" square and 2" thick. I trimmed it to remove dings in the edges.

Mounted with hot melt glue, I turned a mortise. But at the last minute, the hot melt glue failed. Why? too heavy, too little glue, operator error? I had other difficulties but continued until I now have a square bowl, almost a platter.

It is still almost 12" square, finished with wipe-on poly.

Beautiful wood.

Enjoy.
