hi very nice like the fetcher ring is that a floating bottom that you put in it

Very nice bowl. The feature ring looks complicated. I imagine cutting out all the segments at perfect angles to fit together is really challenging.

I know about the addiction, I have it and my wife wants me to go back to regular turnings, I sigh! Your work is beautiful!

fancy for a first, so congrats..my only suggestion is to do a brickwork type pattern on your sapele? pieces. the tiny overlap is ok, but the eyes find a 1/2 overlap more readily appealing. That pattern has been a favorite since it came out in a book, and it has traveled well. Good job

Great choice for your first segmented project. Yes, they are addicting. I will look forward to more of your addiction.

On all my segmented bowls or vessels I use the floating bottom technique, just 3 small spots of glue takes care of any movement that may occur.

On this photo you can see how I actually created the Indian Blanket design, hope this answers your question

Wow, now I want to do some segmented turning.

You must have a lot of patience to complete this type of turning. Nice job
