13" White Oak Plate

[Bruce Jones]

Well I had to try another one; This time I rotated the head on my HF CM Lathe to the front 90 degree position. There had been a few that said this lathe didn't work well like this in some of the reviews I read before buying this lathe; Well I had no problems what so ever other than the piece of wood trying to crack on me, there's a small black spot this kept me from adding a bead on the edge this time. I CA'd the spot and the heavy grain line to keep it from blowing up; as you can see I went very thin on this one and the grain is way better than the photos show.
Go ahead and let it rip guys. http://www.woodturnersunlimited.com/forum/images/smilies/1thumbup.gif
