    Thank you all for the comments. I do havea question. What is the best method of finishing the back side of a plate? Do you use a jam chuck?

    Awesome Plate!
    Love that Grain, what kind of wood is it?
    I would use a jam chuck with a soft pad between the two.

    Don't feel bad - lots of people misspell this wood. Just try eucalyptus!

    No matter how you spell it, this is one gorgeous piece!!

    Very nicely done. Looks good. By the way, what did you use for the finish?

    Thanks Again!!
    The finish is Liberon Wood Turners Polish. Then I buff with a soft cotton cloth
