I used a point tool and the sorby micro texture tool. The section on the front was done with the head tilted about 45 degrees to the right, speed lowered to about 400rpm. This the same as the back. The bottom center was the same and the next section was moved to 45 degrees left of center. The third section was at 90 degrees (vertical). Really enjoying playing with it. I like to separate the sections with duel cuts from the point tool.

That is a wonderful piece.
Also a great piece of wood. I love cherry and can not get enough of it for the reason you have shown.

Thanks for sharing the process. I'm not familiar with these tools, so is helpful to learn how you were able to make these designs.

Bump for an excellent platter.
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.
