Very nice Sam. A great little plate that you can use.

Nice little plate. I know I need more practice with the expansion recess.

Sam, very nice walnut plate, for sure!! Most of my Walnut, that size has some sap wood in it.( Sam, your fingers are looking much better, you were lucky)...Bob-in-Fabius

Very nice plate, Sam. Gonna make a whole set? One thing, it would be wise to better label any non-original containers holding finish and other chemicals. As we get older, our memory gets shorter. Also sets a good example for woodworkers with kids. 😁

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

You are probably right. I have so many finishes in jars and containers and really I only use three main finishes: oil, shellac, and lacquer. I am very familiar with their appearance and don’t always label the jars. But I do try to mention what I am using in my videos. Thanks, Sam.

Another great job Sam but I'm left a little confused. You applied shellac, which acts as a sealant, followed by oil which you said soaks into the wood. If one seals then how does the other penetrate/soak in or am I being a bit dumb here!

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I really like comments from people who are so observant. But here is my answer: My shellac is usually mixed up to be a 1 pound cut. This would be a little on the thin side….. so I believe it would soak into the wood a little more. If I wanted it to be the final finish, I would apply five or six coats until it reached the surface, but only one or two coats., in my opinion, will not prevent the oil finish from penetrating at least a little bit. But in all honesty, I can be a little haphazard when it comes to finishing. Thanks, Sam.

Very nice Great information thanks.

Very nice plate Sam! That's gonna look great on the table. Thanks for sharing! Take care, Dave

[@glencrandall7051]

Very well done Sam. This is a nice piece of walnut. I like the shape but the oil turned it a bit to dark for my taste. What is the chance it will warp? Several years ago I turned a couple of maple Lazy Susan's about 15 inches in diameter and they both warped. I think they were fairly thick, maybe 1/4 to 3/8. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. BTW how is the hand recovering. Looked pretty good today.🙂🙂

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I THINK MOST ANY FINISH YOU APPLY TO WALNUT IS GOING TO TURN IT A BIT DARK. MIGHT BE A GOOD TOPIC FOR A SHORT VIDEO ON FINISHING. I JUST THINK AN OIL IS GOING TO BE MORE DURABLE AND WILL LAST LONGER. (sorry, I had my caps lock on).......

New to turning 1 year..classes twice a week. Thinking a plate may be easier then a bowl?.. we shall see.
