Larry @FranklinWorkshops , thank you for finding those 10 inch pieces.
Gifts for my daughter and daughter in law, that were gong to be Christmas presents but life happens...
So all plates were 5/4 minus some cleaning up. Bottom plates are 17", top plates are 10", fruit platters are 15". Fruit platters are concave. Middle spindle is 3X6 and 3X5.5. Center feature on top is a 10 mm cabbed garnet on one and 8 mm cabbed blue gold stone (close ups weren't working). Finished in tung oil and then waxed. Heavy ball bearing aluminum table inset into the platters to reduce profile. Spindles are held in by ss carriage bolts trimmed on the threaded side to fit the lower and upper plates, which I used bottle stopper inserts for threading. 1.5" of carriage bolt is inserting into spindle to hopefully prevent breaking over the years. Both were kept heavy as there will be 5 grand kids visiting both houses and they are not necessarily gentle. LOL
