So I turned another piece this time it was a Teak platter just under 16" D and was going to do a Pyro fall pattern on it, but after looking at this piece I thought I would hand carve the Embellishment into the project and also pierce threw leaving a floating rim. All the work is hand done the only power tool used was the lathe. The name comes from when I started to come up with this idea back on September 22nd. I hope you all like it

That is a swell job there and I love it.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Thank you Steve, Arlin and Turner; I really didn't keep track of hours 2-3 HRS on nights I didn't have to work I started on the 6th Oct. Fin. on the 23rd. I'm guessing 30 -36 HRS total carving time.
