Hi Pat, 

I guess my first place to start would be are you wanting to do platters for chip carving? If answer is yes than you want to think about a chuck that holds a tenon that is easier to sand off than the other way which is where the chuck jaws set on the inside edge of a recess not usually seen on platters that are chip carved. Then you have to decide how much money you want to spend cause you can get some that are very reasonable but take a little extra work to get them on the wood correctly (some you need to grow about 8 hands), others just one hand but they all range in price. That is why I suggested looking at the national website for a chapter(club) that might be close to you. 



But watch out cause if you think carving is addictive, the lathe is worse trust me, the husband says I could be gone for years and never know how long I have been gone lol.
