Hello everyone this is my latest piece, "Poseidon's Platter"
it's 14 1/2" D X 4" tall. The center is White Oak the Scalloped edge is segmented Walnut, the Dolphins are also Walnut w/ some sap wood left in for color . It was turned then the scalloped edges were hand carved as were the Dolphins. https://www.facebook.com/serenityartisans/

Very nice work indeed . I have carved dolphins so I know how long it takes to get them to look good. nice job.
I'm a little concerned about the expansion and contraction with the oak against the outer ring.
hope it doesn't give you problems.

How much carving and how much time did this take? Did you turn the dolphins? How did you do the scalloped edges?
Thank you everyone for the nice comments Arlin the platter was turned left thick on the edge then the scallops were hand carved w/ the same knife as the dolphins, I don't time how long I worked on the platter part a few hours in the evening watching TV for a few days the dolphins were hand drawn then cut out on the band saw then hand carved.
