Nice!

When you cut the recess for the chuck jaws, do you do the ornate chatter work and details before you reverse the blank?

Decorations done after reverse. It was a little difficult as the platter had a small warp and would not mount to vacum chuck . So I did it against the vacum chuck with the tailstock up . It was tedious but did finally get that on the bottom the way I wanted.

I really like that, but wonder about cracks due to the shape and proximity of the bark.  Do you take special precautions? 

But cracks I presume you mean of the bark. I used CA to the edge of all bark and it should stay for a while. There is a statement from a Pro (not sure who) "it is not a matter of if , but when the bark will come off". Thanks for the comments
