Might have bitten off more than I can chew with this one...
Actually, that piece is going to be a flatwork project in a year or two. While that's drying, I have this 2 1/2" thick offcut to work with on the lathe. I see a very nice feathered walnut platter coming out of this little leftover piece.
And for a sense of scale, here's a tape set at 21"...
There will still be a couple or more nice pieces left after I take the big platter out of the middle, too...
