Anyone know of a website where I can get information on end grain
turning?
I've got a couple of 600mm (2ft) pieces of jarrah (a gorgeous aussie
hardwood) that I'd like to turn in to large platters.


UNless you've got a monster lathe, you're really talking about
making a couple of 300mm platters out them. End grain turning is
an odd way to put it, they should be turn on a faceplate as REALLY
shallow bowls. If you catch my drift. Darrel Feltmate's website
has a wealth of info that might be of use to you. Was this
supposed to be a drive-by? Wish I had the wood.
