The platter.

That is a beautiful piece of work. Bet the sanding was carefully done, all fingers present and accounted for. Congratulations. Where did you score the blank?

Great looking platter !
I think the white balance (daylight / fluorescent / incandescent etc) on your mobile phone camera may be responsible for the difference in images. |

That is a beautiful burl (burr). I like the fact that you've set the feature bead such that it does not all fall on the surface but in part looses to the natural shape.
Well done.
