Hi Damien, sos for the delay, pc been playing up and all sorts, long story! i was planning to remove the excess on the inside with my woodlathe, then possibly bandsawing then sanding outside shape. my first thought was to develop some sort of follower for thr router?? not sure which is best route to take. any suggestions and help very much appreciated. thanks for your help mate.

You got a lathe big enough to turn out that top? If not, you could use a tramel with a spike and turn a circle inside the leading edge. Then hand rout out everything else - starting in the middle!

As for the decorative outside edge... I am the wrong guy to ask. I have no experience with carving whatsoever.

Good luck!

Cheers Damien, my lathe will take up to 18", so i can take the excess out.
thanks for your help, i wasn't going to carve it, like yourself i ain't no good at it. thought of using the router to follow the outside pattern somehow. would be interested in your thingy that trend are looking at. will watch this site for it.

Good work Damien,
you're making the most out of your jig. I just love designing and making the jig, it's a pity that most people only see the final workpiece and not the jigs used.
