This is my 3rd segmented bowl. The first two were 6 segments, this one is 8. I ended up with maple on the bottom since I blew a hole in the walnut at the last minute. In retrospect I wish I had used walnut to fix the hole but it is done now and I have moved on. Despite that I had a number of people who wanted it, I just can’t part with it yet. This is Maple and Walnut and about 9″ in diameter.
I have parts being glued for a 10 segment bowl in the shop now. I will probably stop when I get to the 12 segment. Gluing is not as fun as turning!
