I just finished these today in time for my better half's family Christmas tomorrow.
Both are figured maple and measure @ 14 1/2" in diameter and are @ 2 3/4" deep.
The first platter has had the rim dyed to represent a rainbow effect. This was a request that my sister-in-law (sister-by-law....) made last year after seeing a similar platter that my wife received. She has no idea that I actually followed though on this.http://penturnersparadise.ca/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif
The second platter is for my other sister-in-law......if give one sister something....you better have another gift ready for the other one. This platter was a fun project and I refrained from casting alumilite into it's void. I took a step on the wild side and used West System Epoxy and some PearlEx pigment. No pressure pot for this one, but I did have to make up a second resin mix to fix a few air bubbles I found during turning.http://penturnersparadise.ca/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif
