[Mike Tilley]

Very colorful Mike. I think I like the closed segmented one best because the feature ring and the shoulder are higher on the piece.

[Fred Belknap]

I wood say you have had a very busy weekend. They both are very nice but I have to agree with Ted and like the closed segmented one best. I would think it would be easier than the open one. Both are very nice and the finish looks great.

Interesting look! I bet that stuff is dusty to work with, but it sure gives a unique appearance. Got to go with the solid one for form.

[Jim Burr]

Aw come on Mike!!! What kind of wood? How big are they? What kind of finish? How many parts? Really impressed!!

[Thomas Canfield]

Mike,

You have my admiration on many counts. Good looking vases, looks like good layout, good use of unusual material, and the list goes on. I am not a segment person, but just getting them glued up deserves a "atta boy" by itself.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Both look pretty good Mike but I like the higher shoulder on the solid form. Just seems to fit in along the lines of what I try to create when turning HFs. Sure like the interesting look you get with your wood choices and colors!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice looking peices Mike. Interesting color and wood.

[Doug W Swanson]

Pretty cool, Mike. The colors really look nice. What kind of plywood are you using?

[Bill Wyko]

Very well done. Your grain orientation is excellent and the colors really pop. Nice work.

Mike, I like your work! I wouldn't even know where to begin with an open segmented piece, let alone a closed one. I really like the lip on the first one.
