Turning My Tray (Not A Platter??)

I need a smaller tray for an upcoming project (Patience please).
Our club had a demonstration for a platter. To me, trays and platters are similar except for a broader base and a flat interior.
The wood is bloodwood 9 inches in diameter, finished with wipe on poly.
Back to the tray. With only one inch thick wood, there is no room for a screw chuck. Instead, I use a threaded wood faceplate with double stick tape reinforced with hot melt glue.
Enjoy.
Great demo’! What is the yellow disk you used to check for flatness? I’ve only used a straight edge.
Thanks,

That was a 3D printed template I have for sizing disks. It was handy and the right size.
My small rule is too long.
