Oh, I looked closely, Bill. I saw all the glue lines immediately. That was actually my first thought... "He could have done a better job on the glue lines."
Not only could most people not SEE your glue lines, but most people wouldn't be able to find them with the piece in hand...searching.

I can't EVEN imagine how you did that.
Excellent.

When I started the project, I was going to turn a segmented, plywood vessel with a bubinga feature ring. I honestly don't know how I ended up here. I actually made the finial first, then made the goblet. I tried a higher curve for the lid & it just didn't work. I think by doing the lid last, it gave me a better perspective on my proportions. Going to have to keep that in mind for the next one.
Hey Bernie, good to hear from you, thanks my friend.

Hey Jim, sorry for my absence, my father fell & I had to help him for a while, he's doing great now though. I tried to get a piece in a gallery a little while ago, the lady was a snob and snubbed me. She said "I already have a woodturner in my gallery, I have no need for another one" I send her pics once in a while for the fun of it.

That is one outstanding piece right there! Thanks for sharing the photos cause I'm not sure I coulda believed it if you'd just told us about it. And congrats on the cover! Definitely deserved!

Very nice Bill! Congrats on the Wow cover too!

I won the contest Baileigh put on. I chose a down draft table and a canister filter. It's hard to choose when there are so many great tools to choose from.

Congrats Bill. I have looked at this piece several times and just realized I never commented! It is a very cool piece and a showcase for your exceptional craftsmanship.
If you keep winning the Baileighs contests, they are going to put you on the payroll!

That pice is insane - no wonder you held your breath so much! Congrats on the Baileigh contest. Please do post the Dalek (another whovian here, I built a TARDIS DVD shelf), should be some turning involved.

Thanks Scott, you say that like it would be a bad thing. LOL And Scott......it's thin enough.
you bet Thom, I'll post it once they give me the ok. It gets unveiled at the CES show in Las Vegas in January. I'll try to do my best to document the build.
