I was watching a video on the internet and saw a fellow turn a plate. So I thought that I might give it a go, after all the purpose of turning is to have fun.

This photo shows the plate having a curve. This is not as pronounced in reality as the photo indicates. The corners of the plate are just slightly higher about half a millimetre. What I missed at the time of making this plate is the thickness of the corners and the long running edge of the plate have about 1mm difference. Something to consider when you want to make one.

I have been told the wood is Spotted Gum. I have more of this and had made pens out of it but don't really like the way it comes up if the finish is shinny. So I used a bit of danish oil to give it some protection.
As this was just a practice piece I am not sure that I like it enough to give it away. Comments and criticism welcome.
