Champagne bucket in process

[Jim King]

A first attempt using small pieces glued up for turning . Maybe it qualifies as a segmented piece. It is the ice container for a table side champagne ice bucket. The size is about 11” tall by 11” in dia.. It was roughed out with 12 sections for each ring and glued up and hand sanded and then glued ring on top of ring all with white carpenters glue. The stand will be a large inside out turning as well as an inside out handle on top of the cover. It should be about 54” tall when done in a few days. The bucket has 192 pieces and all is made of pink flame wood kiln dried ¾ inch boards. Kind of thrilling turning the inside and hoping it stayed glued to that little peice of bloodwood. (For pink champagne)

Please, don't go to all that work and then put Cold Duck into it.
