Thanks for the complements and advice
peruturner this bowl is going to be used for food , I was told and read not to use surface top coat type of finishs on this type of project as they will in time flake off and are hard to recoat ?

When using a project for food it will eventually need to be recoated due to usage.

What a beauty!!! I too love the bottom work and the varying thicknesses. Pile in the potato salad in that baby, oh, I suppose you’ll use it for things like leafy salad right? Great job Ron.

-- Dan Wiggins

Nice job. Look up a friend of mine Curt Theobald, he is the finest segmented woodturner living. He has some real good aids that will expand your segmented turning adventure. Again great job on this piece.

I have never done a segmented bowl and now you have given me a reason to try. I don’t know where to start do you have anywhere to get ideas and how to start.
