Steve set out to make 8 dinner plates. He starts with a Plywood faceplate with non skid rubber shelf liner glued to the surface and pressure friction driving a 10 x 1" cherry plate blank for turning.
Cherry plate blank is friction pressed to the faceplate rubber surface by the tailstock pressure.
First six of service for eight of UP cherry wood was air dried 20+ years (104" x 12" x 1" board for about $40). What is missing is the turning, getting rid of the nub in the center, flipping the plate around and turning the other side, getting rid of that nub, along with all the sanding and finishing by Steve. I marvel at his ability to make them all look the same.-ajp2
Here is a closer look of bottom of the 8" diameter dinner plate from the 10" x 3/4" blank. Made for Steve's son and future daugher-in-law for Christmas. Oiled with WATCO brand Danish Oil by Rust-Oleum then waxed. Linseed oil blend paste wax as needed. Another beautiful job by Steve Promo.-ajp2
Looking pretty good Steve. Happy Holidays to everyone.
