6' Walnut Ring for Rolling Ball Sculpture

This is a project commisioned by a friend that does Rolling Ball Sculptures.
It’s made of 3 laminated walnut rings, each ring has 8 sections that are joined
using bisquits. The rings are then laminated making sure that each joint is offset
so it gains strength from the 2 opposing rings. ( I hope I said that right ).
The ring will be mounted vertically, sitting on a large rubber drive roller and held
in place by guides with rollers on them to keep it in place. The 1.25 holes are what
the “rolling ball” is carried from the top of the ring and as the ring rotates, it is then
“dropped off” at the appropriate location within the sculpture.
The finish is 3 coats of Watco danish oil ( my favorite ) and then 3 coats of Black
Bison wanut wax, again ( my favorite ). I hope the pictures assist in the description.
