Gord really nice piece.I know some folks don't care for seg pieces,but i love the looks of a piece that has a lot of time and thought into it.Just me but i'll take a piece like that over a ne any day.

I'm one of those who don't care for segmented work, but I do respect the artist and the work that goes into this type of turning. Well done Gord, nicely laid out, and great form and finish!
Thanks for the kind words.
I enjoy the challenge of creating the rings as much as I do the turning so I'm probably one who will do more segmented work in the future.
First the disclaimer: I have a (Jet Mini) lathe, but I am not a turner. The last time I used the lathe was six months ago - to make a chisel handle.
Now, that aside, I really like that bowl. What I like most about it is the way you evenly graduated the size of the pieces as the bowl's diameter increased. It really makes a smooth looking piece.
