This was turned by a student. I only provided the lathe/shop/tools and assisted with devising the setup for holding.
Artwork is 10"+ diameter. I had a few wide leftover 4/4 walnut slabs I sawed over 10 years ago which made the wood selection easy.

The cloth is stretched on a hoop for embroidery and mounting in the frame. This was for a friend who divided 2020 into monthly pie sections and embroidered something significant for every day of the year!
A shallow "tenon" on a piece of plywood provided registration, held the blank with double-sided turner's tape.
Had to size carefully since the embroidery artist didn't leave much extra space around the edge.
The finish is "danish oil".

The frame had to be thick enough to chisel out space for the hardware used to tighten the hoop.
