    What do you think?

    Should I keep some of the walnut waste block on the lip of the bowl or not? I did not intend to when I put it there but now think maybe I should. Or cut it off and put on some purple heart to match the base. Oh and the design ring is an example of how NOT to do a 3rd generation lamination[]

      Jim, you do beautiful work for sure. That is awesome looking. I think the walnut would look very good as a lip and it seems to match very well.

      I am reading a lot on segmented turning as I would like to give it a go. I would like to make something like what you have there but just out of one wood to start with. I am thinking about lyptus for my first go. Still have a lot to learn as I have not been able to acquire clamps for the rings.

          Wal-Mart has rubber bands cheap. What kind of clamps do you need? Rubber bands and the drillpress is all I use. And the rubber bands are just for joining the 1/2 ring segments to make a full ring. And lots of time I don't use them then either.

              I'd keep it but make it narrow to reduce it's impact.

              Rubber bands and a drill press? Lot's of planing and sanding I guess? I have bookmarked a number of links on segmented turning, but do you know one especially suited to a beginner in segmented turning?

                  I agree with what Gerd said.

                      Makes it 3 votes for a narrow walnut lip.

                          I can't argue with keeping it Jim and it's gonna be a stunning piece no matter what...... But I think I'd go with the purpleheart to match the base. One things for certain though... your's is only opinion that really counts. Pat

                              Beautiful project, Jim. My 14 yr old son was fascinated by your segmented work and would like to try it once he gets his tool use better. Is there a good beginners book that you would recommend?

                                  Alas, I know of no book for beginners Everything I have learned has been from the net or here WoodturnerPro There is a free plan with the demo that has quite good instructions. One book I have is from M.J. Tibbetts. Tahoe Turner but it is a little more "advanced".

                                          Keep watch for a simple design element sample I will be posting tonight. Just got it figured out today
