Woodturning my largest Walnut Platter

This platter turned out to be 15.75" in diameter, and 1" high.
If you would like to purchase this piece, please send me a DM on my Facebook page, or send me an email.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

It was definitely a huge tree, and I have more!

Wow! When you applied the tung oil and the grain exploded, what a fantastic view. You did a great job on this piece.

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Doug! It definitely popped with the tung oil! I think this is going to be my main "go to" finish from now on

[@hayesrutherford9415]

That's impressive. Nice video(something I've been struggling with) Oiling was the icing on the cake.

[@spiritwynd]

It was definitely the icing on this piece 😍

[@barry.w.christie]

Absolutely gorgeous, towards the end it looked like a big slab of chocolate that you were turning ... waiting for the finish ... oh yes, a truly stunning piece 👍

[@spiritwynd]

Thank you Barry, too bad it wasn't chocolate!😊

Tried to hollow out my first bowl yesterday with a spindle gouge...it didn't go very well. I just learned one needs a bowl gouge. Any recommendations for a first purchase? Thanks!

[@spiritwynd]

I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask, as I only have one, and I've never tried other brands, but I use a Robert Sorby 10mm or 3/8". This one came with my first lathe, and I've liked it from the start.
Hope this helps

Thanks!
