This is a really nice turning. I am glad that you added the note in your commentary since I would have assumed that this was a glue-up. Posts like this make me regret not having a lathe in my shop.

Nice platter! I too, wish I had a lathe. Isn’t hard maple ‘fun’ to work with? ;)

Very nice turning. I made one that big and turned it into a lazy susan. Worked out pretty good but the grandson like to watch things fly off when he spun it.
