INSERTED SEGMENTS

As said before Sam, you guys amase me as to how you get your head around the design & glue up & the visualisation of the end result.
That is a fasinating site with some fabulous work by various turners.
the piece above is striking & certainly draws your eye, :))

That is a great site Sam, thanks for sharing. Great looking vase with nice combination of woods. One day I might have time to try one that is after all your other diagrams and projects you have shown.

That’s on fire!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good on you Sam. Another amazing piece.

Very COOL, Sam!

Yep, we know how you do it now… at least from a major standpoint… fine little details can be controlled in a multitude of methods which this project shows… from the other project posted using this technique.

Just plain COOL!

I was thinking of experimenting with the same technique BUT using a router to cut the outside circle… then into the inside of a circular nut tray. Then, going around the outside cutting with a 90* V bit producing even more interesting patterns…

Have you ever done that type of thing?

Thanks again, Sam… you’re just awesome!

Very nice, an elegant solution to a difficult insert, the vase is absolutely stunning, as is your approach to constructing it.

Sam, you are something else!
I think I’m a little ways away from that level still, but I know enough to appreciate your expert craftsmanship!
Beautiful work as always.

Very nice Sam. I love your color(species) choices. It appears you used a butt joint for the insert, not a miter as shown in the plans. I think you made the right choice. I also notice that you alternated the direction of the joint in each insert, also a good choice IMO. A well done vase.

Thcolorur in your project is outstanding….. nice piece as usual.

Yet again superb.

Good thing you included the sketch and description – it had me thinking for a while how you did it.

-- I may have lost my marbles, but I still have my love of woodworking

Like you Sam, he is one clever fella.
