Woodturning - I've Never Made Anything Like This!

I was asked to make two cake stands by a colleague from my full-time job, she had many ideas but left me down to the final design. This was a bit of an experiment for me, as I wanted to try something I hadn't before by combining wood and epoxy in a river table style. The wood I chose was Yew, mainly for its unique wavy edges and bold colour.
The piece has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with various food safe oils and wax.
The piece is approximately 23 x 12 cm.
Let me know what you think, and if you've got any ideas for the second cake stand!
I now have a website! I know it's taken a long time, visit it here: www.harrysmithwoodturning.com

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
