The plates are beautiful. I like the geometric designs. How lond does it take you to cut and glue these up?

Ahh, you make it sound so simple but my guess is that you require to be extremely accurate with your shapes so that they look accurate and also that the circle closes before you start turning. I suspect there is a lot more time and patience involved in creating these plates than you give yourself credit for. Anyway a very good job, well done to you.

These are gorgeous!
What is the length of the pieces you glue together before you turn the piece?

Tom,
These are beautiful. From the questions posed here it might be useful to do another presentation as a blog detailing the process. I would love to be able to turn.
Thanks for sharing.

I turned one just like it last night and this morning when I went out to apply the finish it was gone. I would have shown a picture (just kidding). That is beautiful. Don’t suppose you’d be interested in doing a blog on the glue up process??? hint, hint.

I would have to agree with Scott and doing a presentation. Personally I know nothing about turning. Is this not inlay? Or is everybody ducking cuz this whole process is going over my head? I do know however I think they are gorgeous. Glue up? Boy I need to learn about this so I don’t sound as dumb as I feel right now. PEACE!!!

To me, there is nothing simple about the entire project. Both are beautiful. I too would like to learn more about the process.
