I did not turn the platter, it came from Atlanta area turner Nick Cook. Another member of his artist studio campus did the graphics, and I did the laser engraving. Er, twice... :frown:
I messed up one of the kanji symbols - the bottom one, appropriately entitled "DO" (think: Doh!!), but Nick was able to remount the piece on his Powermatic 4224B (how many here besides Russell can mount a 23" platter over the lathe bed?) and shave down the center portion, and then I was able to (correctly) re-engrave it.
Made from sapele - a beautiful wood with some great chatoyance (shimmer), and it laser engraves very evenly.
