Ken: Agree as it's start come together, I found the 8 inlays looks much better that the 12. Still working out some issue on alignment.
This one was a real pain as the blanks was very dry Ash that I had in stash for several years and end grain was a killer to keep from tear out.
However it did come out ok. With very very sharp edge on the shear mode.

Very interesting. Do you have any photos of the blank before turned? Love segmenting.

now that's a cracker ! It must have taken a while to centralise properly and a whole lot of patience
Well done
Construction notes would be appreciated ?

Inspired by Kip Lockard You tube on the process. Getting alignment down was big problem when making the jig.

I like the over and under illusion. Working on a project that does something similar this winter.

As a former segmenter, I still look at the middle sections/dimensions to see if they are close to being similiar. Yours are! Well done. I envy/appreciate your precision.

Did you configure the thickness of the splines to the kerf of your saw blade?
5/32" or 3/16" Kerf? To my eyes, it looks a tad wider than 1/8"

Lee: Blade is Diablo 10/60 fine finish 1/8, titebond II extended time glue , and Model machine mini drum sander to custom fit splines. Also the splines are not at 90 degrees and that is why they look little fatter.
You might want to check out. Kip Lockard. You tube as this was my inspiration to try this project, You know one of those rabbit holes again.
Also most set saw blade a45, this one was set at 30 degrees which I like better.
Side note on saw blades: for a long time I used Forest blades and sent them back to be sharpen, got to be little expensive . Went looking for another blade that was almost a good as Forest, to my surprise the Diablo blades which are way ,way much cheaper than a Forest blade and even with the cost of shipping and sharping, give me equal to cut quality even if the blade has to be replace rather that sharping. turns out to still be cheaper that the Forest blade and its life. Might want to check them out.(Yes Uncle Amazon has them)
