segmented piece

[triw51]

Not really a bowl not really a vase not sure what to call it.......
Any way maple base, oak center, maple top and mesquite rim. The top piece of maple I lightly stained to bring out the grain.
C & C welcome.

Looks Nice. I have not done much bowl work. I think bowls are much harder than pens to get a good look. Very nice work.

Great Job, I like it.

Thanks for showing.

Looks good. Did you do the hollowing after the woods were glued, or did you get a head start by rough hollowing each half prior to gluing?

Very nice, great mix of woods, well done

I call them "vessels" or UFO's...!

Well, that sort of glue-ups work well when one doesn't have thick enough woods to make deeper pieces and , if this was not the reason you done it like that, you done a good job with the glue-ups, the lines are straight and clean so, a great job overall, congrats...!:wink:

Cheers

I glued up solid boards with no prior hollowing. I havent tried the pre hollow glue up yet. Although I do want to do a segmented ring in the center (ironwood with copper spacers) next. Need to find the formula for making the cuts.

It came out really beautiful, great mix of woods. Great shape and the grains look amazing. Great work!
