This is a wall turning that measures 12" by 14".
This is awesome! All the decoration is just so busy (not in a bad way) there's a lot to take in.
 
CG,

This photo is cropped a little bit, more so due to lighting than anything else. I will try to load another photo or replace this one with a more complete shot.

Thanks for all the comments! (always learning)

Hal,

That turning was done with a faceplate on the back. Offset and raised to get different centers and the partial rings. However the upper larger circle at one of the recesses is the same size as the #3 Stronghold jaws. Using that recess, I was able to hold onto the finished front and turn the back in reverse profile. Got a lot of those thougths from looking at Douglas Fisher's and Carl Ford's work - but I don't have a vacuum chuck.... yet. :)

Thanks for the comments and questions.

Tom
