I managed to get some turning time today (while at work :))
Not sure what it is, it just worked out that way. I must start to plan ahead.

I'd call it a cheese/fruit platter and charge £45 for it.

Good lines and curves. A nice piece, and I prefer it to the bowl.

well done

Hi Keith,

 This is a case of less is more, very simple but it works a treat. Just a tip for the future ther bottom edge would be better slightly rounded off as this is the area that will be handles and take any knocks and such a crisp edge easily chips especially with a wide grain like oak and once chipped it takes the eye away from the symetry and form.

Cheers Martin.
