"Celtic Pride"
Hello once again everyone here's my latest piece
"Celtic Pride" It's Teak with a hand cut Mahogany inlay turned, then a hand carved Celtic Knot rim (Both Sides) and burned inside edges for shading. The finish is Tru-Oil and this piece finished just under 12" diameter x 1 3/4" deep.

Of course I did the knot myself....It was hand drawn and hand carved with knifes and only the use of a small drill to make a 1/8" hole at each opening to make the carving a bit easier. I used these knifes https://www.amazon.com/Flexcut-Carvi...s%2C167&sr=8-6
Also the harp inlay was not done w/ a CNC hand done w/ a dremel.
Here are a few shots before it was finished, sorry I had more photos while carving but I cleaned my memory card by mistake before up loading the data.Jack Of All Master Of None

Beautiful, you should be justifiably proud of your work.

That's a wonderful piece of turned artwork I have not seen the like to compare.A credit to your skill as a craftsman of obviously high standing.

I think you need a different display stand for it. That one looks like weird extension of the plate. Just a very basic one would look good, even a clear one.
It belongs in an art gallery or at my place
