Segmented vase

Malcom Tibbetts was kind enough to get me pointed in the right direction and this is what I ended up with. 60 pieces of walnut and maple that are 7" high and 6" at the widest point. Danish oil finish, to be buffed in a couple of days. All 4 photos are of the same piece from different view points.

I also found out that Malcom's definition of "very easy" is a lot different than mine! Thanks to Malcom for inspiration and his help!

Very cool, Robert. :thumb: I'm guessing the the glue-up was solid, or did you do it as rings? Either way, the joints look real good.

Getting segmented turning advice from Malcolm Tibbetts is a lot like getting Christmas gift advice from Santa Claus. ;)
 
A very interesting piece, with each angle giving a unique look. Nice job!

Did you use a thickness sander on the pieces or just straight from the jointer & planer?
 
That's a nice project. I've thought alot about trying a segmented turning. It goes along with my general philosopy of, "The more tools used to complete a project, the better!" Thanks for sharing!
