I have several 6 x 6 x 3 and 6 x 6 x 4 Exotic turning blanks. The only thing I can think of to make from them are a small bowls. The 6 x 6 x4 is pink ivory, a couple of purpleheart, desert ironwood, and mystery wood.
theses are about 5" dia.
I textured a 2" metal hemisphere and ground a taper on a 1/2"dia. metal rod. welded the two together and glued it to the wood. The ring is 1/8"x1/2" flat (available at HD or lowes) textured, sanded and buffed, ...glued to the wood. The texturing is done with a torch...

William, I'm reluctant to be more specific without knowing more about your metal working background. Welding with a torch requires another volume of safety knowledge ... I'd be glad to detail things like that to you privately, email, etc.
