Yet another segmented pice

[Randy Rhine]

Here's another segmented piece, obviously inspired by Malcolm Tibbetts work. Maple and Walnut, 17" tall x 12" dia. The sphere and ring rotate on teflon bearings. The base has a steel plate imbedded to add weight for stabilty. The sphere was made a couple of years ago, the ring & base over the last week. I knew when I made the sphere it would be a part of something else, it just took a while to get around to it.

Beautiful work... love the design!! That ring is really amazing!!! How long did it take you to make it?

[Mark Pruitt]

You segmenters are killin' me!:eek: :p

Randy, that is awesome! I'm not even going to ask how many hours went into that. Even harder to quantify would be how much patience it took. Congrats on a job well done. Beautiful work of art.

[Keith Burns]

Very nice Randy !!:)

[Andy Livingston]

Fantastic! I just bought Malcome's book. You did him proud!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautifully done Randy! Takes a lot skill and patience!

[Andy Hoyt]

Look out, Malcolm! Here comes Randy.

Excellent!

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Coolness! Have you named it yet?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Randy that is just pretty awesome. I really like the design. Nice job.

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

Randy, what a fun, well done piece! I'm honored that I somehow provided a little inspiration, but you've more than proven your own capabilities. Sorry that I missed you a few weeks ago in Portland. We'll have to get together and compare notes at the AAW Symposium. Actually, one of the events at the symposium will be a “special interest” series of get-togethers on Friday evening. I’m slated to moderate a discussion on segmented turning. I sure hope you can make it. Again - great piece.

[Dennis Peacock]

One word: AWESOME!!!!!! :cool:

[Roger Fitzsimonds]

That is so cool, It hurts my head trying to figure out how you did that.

exceptional work

Hi,

Thanks for all the comments. It took about a week to make. As far as actuall hours...I dunno...don't keep track. I generally spend from 4 to 10 hours a day in the shop, depending on what else I have going on (bicycle riding has priority on nice days).

Title...not yet. Maybe "Orbit 1"?

Jonathan, if you want a closer look, it'll be at the Cascade meeting this Thursday.

Large amounts of WOW,Randy. I can only admire segmented turnings, not make them. True artistry, man. You and Malcom keep inspiring us. Thanks, Max

I don't know if I am going to make it to the CWT meeting on Thursday, but I do plan on being at the Stuart Mortimer Seminar in March. If you bring it I would love to see it!!

[Bill Wyko]

That is an awsome piece. I can only hope I get that good at segmenting someday. Absolutly beautiful

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice work

[Ernie Nyvall]

Wow Randy, that's an amazing piece. Nice job.

[Curt Fuller]

That is really something! I can't imagine how that's done. Amazing!

[John Chandler]

That is one cool piece. Great job. I bet this will provide inspiration on its own.

[Ed Scolforo]

Randy, I can't begin to imagine ever having the patience to do something like that. Very impressive.

I made a globe once. I really liked it. But here comes Randy!!!:eek:

WHA....? How in the world? That thing is unbelievable. I can't even imagine how you do something like that. Great job.

[John Miliunas]

Holy smokes! That's truly "out of this world", Randy! My goodness...I can only but imagine all the work into that one. Fantastic job! :) :cool:
