Advice before I turn a lump of elm burr
Les Symonds:
Thanks for the link, Richard...I'll Orr a copy today. The inturned rim turned out to be just what I thought that it would be, but I don't think that I'd be able to apply such a shape to a platter....nor that it would be appropriate.
David......it's all burr!.....burrillliant!
Regards....Les

This is only 1 1/2" thick and was turned from a piece off an old table top using the hot glue method mentioned earlier. Centre piece is a pewter inlay, outer rim is aluminium powder and CA glue. This is 14" dia. so your elm would work fine by this method
.
David Buskell:
You guys should have been at Woodworks - Nigel had some great blanks of elm there for less than £10 and one burr elm piece (the one I bought) left on Sunday. He also had some logs there, some odd shapes but a snip at £30 or so.
The hot glue method does give you a bit of extra depth but you can also get this by cutting a small spigot and using the O'Donnell jaws to hold the work. Bring up the tailstock for support as well!

Hi David....I'm a bit new to this forum and not yet clued up on the wood-based shows that you guys sometimes refer. What is Woodworks, and who is Nigel? Is there a chance that he'd be at this weekend's show at Newport, as I'm going there?
