When I posted my first segmented bowl, Richard Madison advised me to work on the basics before moving on to the more complicated patterns. That made good sense, so for the past four months I have been working on the joinery. Well, I finally decided to try a more complicated feature ring.
This feature ring came from Bill Kandler's DVD. I modified his ring a little in that his ring has two zigs and two zags and two strips of purpleheart. Mine has two zigs and one zag and one strip of purpleheart -- My purpleheart board wasn't long enough for a two zagger.
Overall I am satisified with the alignment, but maybe not so pleased with my wood selection; I probably should have used something other than the cherry in the feature ring.
It's Walnut, Cherry, Purpleheart and Yellowheart. 11 inch diameter and 6 inches high.
What ya think??
