I'm new to turning...old to scrolling. I'm excited about being able to make pens soon...I'm buying the accessories one at a time. I wanted to try and turn something so I scrolled out this picture, it is the Ares mask from the zodiac, added some segments and turned it into a plate...bloodwood and pecan. the bottom is just flat. I papered and glued a block on the bottom and used the faceplate to turn it, then sanded the bottom smooth on a stationary belt sander. I don't have a chuck or cole jaws yet, so I went lazy old school, but had to get some chisel practice in.
