I turn big platters, mostly cedar. I use a power plane to balance it out in the beginning, I couldn’t start one as off balanced as you did. I finish the bottom and then turn it around and try for very thin. Some warp, some don’t.
Yes so far, although it doesn't matter if it warps sometime in the future, it hangs on the wall, just like a painting, really beautiful. But it's poplar, a soft wood and when sawing I took out the core of the wood, the core often makes the piece crack.
Eumm, I think that 1800rpm is way to fast! A piece of wood this size is so heavy and unstable, I prefer to start with 210rpm and when it becomes rounded you can get up to 350 - 500 rpm max. Otherwise it gets really dangerous.

It's nice to hear how you work, there are many ways and I think it is good to do it the way it works best for you. Thanks for your comment.
Muchas felicidades por su trabajo que siga adelante
Muchas gracias 😁 , thank you
Great work
Thank you 👍
That is big! Beautiful too. 👍
Yes, thank you 👍
Fantastic job, what kind of lathe is that?
Thank you, this is a Stratos XL lathe. A nice heavy lathe. In the future I will make a bigger platter.
Nice! Did it stay flat?

Very nice.
Thank you 👍
It’s best to start with pieces this size at about 1800rpm…in case some beginners were wondering

@@JensHovingaWoodturning was being ironic, mate…
@@cattleNhay 😅 You made me wonder! 😂🤣
Be careful when giving joke advice because you will never know when someone innocent really does it and gets hurt. Just saying😊
