If you happen to have technical difficulties, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook. But it is best right here.

This project turns out to be a two’fer:
1) Our club challenge is to create a platter with an ogee curve.
2) A fellow club member created a funnel that was to join the burn pile.

Better yet, take excess wood from the ogee platter to create a second thinner platter with the same series of lathe mounts.
An ogee curve is a combo bead and cove. It is a classical form that have been pleasing eyes for centuries.

My platter is about 8″ diameter by 2″ height, walnut finished with wipe-on poly.
My second item is about 8″ diameter by 4″ height, walnut finished with wipe-on poly”
Bottom: Platter from the same wood block as the ogee platter
Middle: Failed bowl from a club member who created a funnel rather than a bowl.
Top: Smallest cored bowl.

By the way, what do you call this second item.

Enjoy.
