Well, I don't see wood doing a good job as a platter. Except for the wow factor of being different, you'll probably end up with wow and flutter. If I were you and thinking cheap, I'd grab a maple cutting board from a store. It's about 3/4" thick, multisegmented, and flat on both sides. Someone here with a router (JGRO?) could cut the shape and the magnet recesses. You don't need a high precision machine to do what you want to do. My home built router isn't done yet or I'd offer to do it for cheap just because its different. I think you should ask on the router forums. |
