Raj, Do you follow this turner? Your new lathe reminds me of his setup. He makes some very large turnings: http://www.youtube.com/@phamphuocgohaiphong1641

I didn’t put up the view of the back at first as the copper foil doesn’t match the curvature and looks sloppy where it overlaps; - but, I wanted you to see the feet on the bottom of the tray.

Once I get the use of my right shoulder/arm back I will be cutting a nice walnut log up for turning blanks... I'll send you one Nick.

Maybe try to epoxy and (creatively) clamp that ripout, and reduce what you have to take off it...

Jay, That grain looks like a mountain scene.

That yew is a beautiful bowl, and I appreciate your eye for, and understanding of the beauty locked within a piece of wood. Many of my distinctive bowls are due to serendipity, but a few are due to my understanding of the way trees grow. I haven't made a pepper grinder yet... will have to try...
