Fantastic, Scrappy! How can I critique it? I don’t even know how you did it!

great technique.

Well it looks great, Scrappy. How would you have changed it? I’ve never seen a design quite like it. I think you did a wonderful job. That would make anyone pick it up and look it over. Very nice.

Now that is pretty sharp Scrappy. I really like the rings…. How you did it…. I have no idea….lol

I think it turned out real nice, can’t wait to start some of my own segmented pieces. It’s wierd how the bowl appears almost octogonal when upside down but is definetly round.

Thanks for the great comments everyone.

This was a very easy design. It is a 8 piece segment circle. Each piece is walnut/oak/walnut, from inside out (or outside in). When you turn a straight line, it ends up curved. So that is how I got the ovals.

Hope this explains it. Also the bottom is 8 wedges to make up the circle.

imallchakedup,, I noticed that also. Nice optical illusion.

Barbs, I wish that the segments were all identicle, but they very a little. It makes it hard to get the even lines all the way around. Maybe next time.

Thanks again.

gee scrappy ,

it sure looks good to me ,
what are the chances
of having it come out exact with the wood changing
even within itself as you turn it ,
like that dark pitch pocket ,
there it was waiting for it’s TIME to show up !

I like the rings too – it almost makes it look like they bubble out.

Great bowl Scrappy!! I would be very pleased with the sections. I don’t see anything that you should be unpleased at all. I think that the joint lines really add to the design..

Scrappy, I see nothing but a beautiful bowl…. I like the shape, the choice of wood, the design and the finish. Great Job!!

I think it looks great Scrappy. I haven’t seen a turning quite like that before, it makes for a very cool effect. Well done!
