Woodturning: Slab Wood Platter

A "just shy of" 16 inch platter turned from dry and split slab wood cut-offs that were recently donated to me. This was the largest diameter turn I've done and the largest my lathe can manage without an outboard tool rest set up. Decent learning curve and some challenges around wood flexing while turning. Thanks in advance for watching.

Thank you for getting me started on a whole new world of turning. I have a supply of spaulted maple and oak but those glorious grains get lost in bowls. Platters is it going forward. Thank you thank you.

Gorgeous piece of wood. Way to keep the form simple yet elegant and let it shine!

Nice work. I like that you left the ripple on the back because of the flexing. Smart! What king of wood is this?

Amazing work and video. What type of wood is that?
