Thanks PTown & every one else who took time to comment..PT: it's about 8" in diam..and what will blow most people's minds is all the cuts were made on a mitre box..yep, powered by my old worn out arm!! That's over 1200 cuts!!! No I built it up row by row and hollowed as I went..but of course one could do in two parts and hollow as one went and glue together BUT I think you may find in something as intricate as this design you may lose the pattern..maybe not..PT go to my member's gallery and you will se a picture of this being built on the lathe....thanks again for your commentMick,
I have done a few segmented bowls. Nothing that elaborate.
INCREDIBLE WORK!!!! What is the diameter?
Inspiration has been planted to give it a try. Did you hollow it or do it in two pieces and glue it together?
