Segmented Hollow form

[mike fuson]

This is one of my favorites. Woods are African Mahogany, African Blackwood, Bloodwood, and Holly. Measures 9'' wide x 7 1/2 high. Antique oil finish.

Very nice, Mike!

Mike, that is a very interesting pattern! You have done a phenomenal job of alignment on the "tooth" pattern as it climbs the form, and I really like the alignment of the diagonal chain in the feature ring.

A very nice piece!! My favorite is still the southwestern piece you did a couple back, though.;)

[David E Keller]

That's great. I know the curve is smooth, but the way the light reflects off the segments it almost looks faceted. The small holly details are very nice as is the feature ring. Great wood choices as well.

Very beautiful piece Mike! I do see some alignment strangeness, but nobody else will notice. Very nice work.

[John Hart]

Very nice mike...I love the shimmer of mahogany. Nice to see you!!

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

Mike, I can see why it's one of your favorites - very nicely done!

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice! Every time I see one of these I wonder how much time is spent before you even begin turning one of these?

[Mike Willeson]

Very nice. I cannot even imagine how one would create a piece like that. I really like the color contrast.

[Larry Marley]

Nice job Mike!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty Mike. I really like the wood combo's and form.

[Bill Bolen]

[Tony De Masi]

Beautiful work Mike! As much as I like the design, colors of woods used and size - I find the real winner (to me) is the form! Love it!

Excellent work! Thanks for sharing!

[Matt Owen]

Wow! That looks fantastic! Great job.

I agree. My thoughts exactly.

Mike, I really enjoy your work; especially the little half triangle that you insert in the top of the segment. I know how to cut the angle at the top of the Segmented piece, but cannot figure out a "safe" way to cut the small half triangle insert. Would you be willing to share the method that you use to cut this piece? Thanks.

Not a cut, just disc sanded.
