Woodturning - The Square Plate

This week project video is a fairly simple project, ideal for woodturning beginners. Used an exotic square hardwood blank (Leopardwood) and turned it into a wooden plate / platter / bowl. To add a little twist into this wood turning project I shaped the bottom to look like it is standing on four little legs. Whilst it may seem difficult to do, it was very simple using a Dremel rotary tool. Some more sanding was needed at the bottom but the whole process did not take a long time.

Thanks David. Great work. You just answered my question on what to do with this big chunk of Sycamore I've been saving.

Awesome work David, the feet are a great touch. Thanks for showing me a new wood too, stunning grain and your shaping of it was amazing.
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks Bluey👍 First time turning leopardwood but yes the grain is pretty awesome :) The feet is an interesting addition I will definitely utilise this more in the future specially when you have greater thickness / materials to work with could look even better and bigger.

[@movingchips]

Australian Lace-wood, beautiful wood

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Certainly it is beautiful, but kind of dusty to work with. But the grain well compensate for that 😀

[@bettinaszelpal9533]

Lovely plate, well done!

Thank you,means a lot from you 😊

[@ptbfrch]

Beautiful piece.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks Thomas, appreciated 😀

[@paulorth2251]

Great one-off plate, dinner setting for 6 could take awhile. Nicely done sir very nicely done indeed.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks Paul! You got that right! 😀

[@jeffwood2845]

That is mint!!!! The legs are awesome. Thanks for the idea and I am now a subscriber.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tracybowling97]

I love your square leopard plate! It would be really neat if you had a whole place setting of those!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks, much appreciated :)

[@denisvienat849]

Ha c’est beau bravo 👏👍

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you :)

[@JTLEE-zd2ig]

Beautiful wood.
But my question is - why did you carve up the ring base to make 4 feet ? I would think the ring foot would be much more stable.

[@GabiFodorrasRO]

Big like!👍👍👍👍👍✅💪Felicitări! Great video 👍👍👍😎

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😀

[@adriamiraguilar]

Hermosa madera !!!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks you :)

[@ade-woodcrafts]

Hi, I just discovered your channel!
You made a beautiful piece!
In the end, when you sculpted the four legs, I thought it might not be a good idea, but it turned out great!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks much appreciated. Yes it was a risky move but glad it turned out good as it gives a little extra feature to the plate

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Just awesome and stunningly beautiful. What is the name of the wood?

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks so much Kobie 😀

[@simonriley9378]

What’s the deal with the tennon removal my friend, that sure is the long way around ,
Each to their own

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Not sure I follow

[@billgiles3261]

Looks good, what wood is it? Like the lathe, same as mine.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks Bill 😀 It is Leopardwood, it has a very interesting grin for sure. Yes the lathe is brilliant upgraded to this one 6 months ago and love it.

[@Luv_2_Watch]

Beautiful...but a lot of wasted exotic lacewood. I've never seen a solid piece that big in person. Must have been very old.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you. :) Downside of woodturning the waste is a fair bit when it comes to hollowing a bowl/plate/vase. First time using lacewood very interesting grains but like it

[@nurmilaag3632]

Mesin nya cangih ,saya kepinin alat seperti itu tpi maha ga ya?

[@DavidsWoodturning]

There are entry level equipment you can buy or look at second hand items. Like any hobby woodturning also comes with a cost but worth every penny to me :)

[@Crichly]

Beautiful!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 😊
