So today i gave it try , not sure jimmy would be impressed
but anyway i thought i would put it out there anyway

with spirit stain, black and red , finished with eee and
glow , any comments and advice welcome

Agree with Dave ... Low profile and thin .. Looks very elegant. Stain a nice contrast too ! Excellent !

That is very nice work. Something to be proud of. How did you get the lathe upside down? I thought I was the master of upside down photos!

[Dalboy]

Very well turned and finished. I like this type of shape nice flowing lines. Keep on playing it is great fun

I reckon he bolted it to the ceiling or used an American camera (made for noethern hemisphere )

Hi glen,
Yeah, it, s the first time I have used spirit stain on a platter
I put the black on first , and then the red and sanded back
to 800 grit

Hi charlie,
I am happy with the way It turned out, first time I have tried
this method of turning and colouring, I turned the I-pad
upside down , cos the flap thing kept getting in the way
so thats how to do upside down photos,,,,,,, whats your
excuse.......
