This is my entry in the turned catagory. The accent rings are made with hardboard and the zigzag pattern is mdf. There are 181 pieces total. Each ring has 12 pieces mitered at 15 degrees and individually glued together. The main design ring has 72 individual pieces and is a 1st generation lamination. All rings were run through a Performax 16-32 prior to stack glueing. The finish is a lot of blo to color the hardboard and mdf and multiple coats of lacquer on top of that. It is shorter by 1/2" due to flying off the lathe during the VERY LAST OPERATION! It is 7" tall and 7" in diameter with 1/4" wall thickness.
Turned: Pine sandwitch with artificial filling

Hello Jim,
I really like what you made from your 2x6! Segmented bowls are high on my list of things I want to try. Inspirational! May I ask roughly how much time this one took?Jim in Texas and Sicko Ryobi Cult Member ©Comment

Thanks! This one took about 25 hrs including glue drying time. If you choose to do one, hard woods are much easier and will take less time.Comment
