Is it a Bowl or a Platter

Well just got in from the workshop with my latest piece of Rippled Chestnut it’s 650mm diameter by 35mm high so is it a bowl or a platter 🙂

comments welcome my woodturning friends 🙂

Oh and excuse the cooker it’s the only clear space I had to take a picture 🙂

It’s a blatter 😀

It doesn’t matter what you name it really, it’s lovely and that’s what matters.

Tom it’s a Bowllater 🙂 the wood is quite stunning.

Luke it’s not that hard to turn out board on on a lathe I do it quite a few very large pieces and natural stuff, it’s what I like to do. I have a free standing Jet tool rest which helps, but I want a VB36 then you will see extra large 🙂

The vb36 would be a great addition to anyone’s shop as it can still do spindle work so you can use it as the master bowl turner or a normal lathe.

but then one I like as well is the oneway  2436 as it still has the bed so I can do vases and that on it but also be able to do 24″ bowl or platter  over the bed.

It’s gorgeous whatever it’s title Ed! What a stunning piece of work.  A VB36 eh? If only 🙂

It’s always a pleasure to see your work mate, and your cooker 😉
