This is about what it would look like. You wouldn't have to worry about the hole in the center or any of the mounting. Basically I just need the standard platter it self cut. It could be done in acrylic or polycarbonate but I don't think that would be to cheap? Probably more then hardwood. I also don't expect to find a piece of hardwood that thick. I would guess would have to find a few pieces that are 1" or so thick and then laminate them together. I think this would look neat anyways there would be some interesting stripes on the sides.
