    Really nice with the natural beauty of wood grain. How long before it cracks?

    Maybe with several coats of epoxy but I don't see that faring well with the dry/humid swings we have here in NE.
    Sure would be nice to have and more funner to make.

    I have a jet mini lathe with extended bed, will only do 12 inch diameter inboard,
    I also have a legacy ornamental mill that is like a lathe.
    I am an amateur turner never done any large diameter stuff
