Pretty cool Roo, this is the first laminated piece for you right? The color combinations are nice. I like it.

That little bead detail is very good. A nice touch. Thanks, Roo, for sharing and participating.

I like that Roo, I must admit though I am not a fan of Titebond glues especially the new polyurethane gluse that foam up. I much prefer the PVA glues.

This is a neat way to show off different types of woods, especially on a nice wide area of the rim. Good work, Roo.

Ruaridh, I am glad that you entered this C&T. Your plate looks very nice. The combination of woods, and their colors, is well done. The bead on the inner rim is just right.

Very nice piece Roo! One of the things I like about laminated and segmented pieces is how the straight glue lines become curved lines once the piece is turned. Good job.
