Very nice Chip. The people that do segmenting have a lot of patience.

I'm glad you finally got that one finished. You did a nice job on it too.

That is a large vase. I am wondering about how you turned the inside. I would think that a steady rest and a large boring system would be required.

I started at the bottom and turn the inside as I added the rings and I also started at the top and added the ring down the vase, an turned the inside of the top .Than tried to get them to join as close as possible to meet both insides together when they med .I also used a steady rest.
