"Poseidon's Platter Too"
it's 14 1/2" D X 9 1/2" tall. The center is White Oak the Scalloped edge is segmented Walnut, the Dolphins are also Walnut. This piece needed a base so here's what I came up with. The base turned, cut & carved plus I added three hand carved Sea Horses.

It's my honor to be able to pick the next Turning of the Week. This was much harder than I thought it would be, with all the extremely talented tuners in this group. After a long and hard look I've decided to pick "Poseidon's Platter Too" by Bruce Jones as the next turning of the week. Every time I scroll up to it I can't help but to zoom in on all the pictures and become mesmerized by all the detail that was put into this piece. The platter, which was done first, is a piece of art in itself. The separate base really raises this piece to a whole new level. While the piece as shown in the photos is amazing, I can only imagine the amount of detail that can be seen in person. Congratulations Bruce, this is a piece to be proud of!

I think your asking how was this done? I can post a few in progress photos to help w/ that. It was turned both the base and the platter, then a good deal of carving was done after words, some photos.
