Well while I had my idea fresh in my head I threw a blank of the high figured White Oak on the old HF CM Lathe; this time I was shooting for a flatter plate w/ out the foot. I glued a scrap piece to the back side for the chucks jaws to have a good hold on this piece w/ it's heavy wild grain, and this is what I came up with 10.5" D was as big as I could get from this board.

Nice wood for sure. IMO the foot is much better on this one than the first. The rim that you have is (to me) unconventional. Most plate rims dip inwards to help hold food in place, whereas your rim slopes outward. If anything makes it over the small upturned lip, it's heading straight for someones lap or off the plate.
