Had a nice few hour in the workshop this morning turned two 8 sided platters one in Oak just over 15" the other in Elm just over 14" they are part of 14 items I am going to make for Horseback and blind veterans I have put up some photos of the Oak one from start to finish apart from the oil finish which I will do over the next 6 days or so

Great stuff Woody. I'm against the room I'm afraid because I especially like the oak one. They're both fantastic, but the oak is exquisite in my opinion. Less is more. The grain and form compliment each other beautifully.

Thanks Phil I am going to make 4 x 8" bowls to go with it and hopefully an 8 sided Tazza if there is enough Oak to do one
