Hello everyone this is my latest piece, "Poseidon's Platter"
it's 14 1/2" D X 4" tall. The center is White Oak the Scalloped edge is segmented Walnut, the Dolphins are also Walnut w/ some sap wood left in for color . It was turned then the scalloped edges were hand carved as were the Dolphins.

Very nicely done. How did you attach the dolphins to the platter -assuming of course that they were carved separately.

Thanks for the likes everyone and thank you Hughie & Brainstrust for your comments; I'm now working on a base for this piece to show the scalloped carving better.
