I should mention the blank is left a bit oversized so I can grind off any grooves left over from the twisting.

I like to work in short sections, especially with a curvy blade like this. I alternate from side to side to help prevent warpage.
Thanks for the pic of your platen. Makes sense it would help getting into those recurve areas. Did you make it yourself? I'm trying to imagine how to keep something like that perfectly symmetrical for the whole length on both sides....
