Jeff, just to confirm, he's talking 11" diameter and 2" thick, right?

Jeff · January 18, 2009, 10:20:48 PM

Well, I suppose it could be 11" deep and 2" in diameter, but if that's the case, he sent me the wrong pictures. :D

*sigh* Sorry. :-[ I've never turned anything before and am not in the habit of knowing the dimensions of plates and bowls. Went and measured one of our plates and it's a 10" dinner plate. So this platter is pretty good size.

Warbird · January 19, 2009, 04:26:45 PM

I'm not the current high bidder. I'm having "discussins" with the Mrs on how nice that bowl would look sitting on our new counters. ;)

Patty · January 19, 2009, 06:15:50 PM

Wow, nice work you guys. It is beautiful.
