This is my latest piece I've been working on, its walnut and maple and measures 10'' tall and 6 1/2 '' wide . Antique oil finish. I had not tried glueing one up like this before and it didn't come out hardly like I thought it would but it did give me an idea for a future piece. Comments and critiques welcome.

Mike, just getting started to turn segmented items like yours and am very impressed with this piece. I am having a little trouble visualizing how you made the "cuts" to come up with your particular pattern--could you help? Thanks.

Verrrry well done, Mike. Looks like you used a micrometer for setting out the cuts. Seems to be perfectly centered, too. The pics seem to be all North or South; How 'bout one looking East or West?

That's a very nice vaaaaassssss as John Hart would say. I'm really impressed with the segmentation and would like to know more as well.

The shape and pattern are awesome. The pattern really enhances the form. I like this a lot.

Wow Mike, that's amazing. I've never seen a design quite like that. That must be a Fuson original? I really like that and the overall shape is great too.

Very cool. :cool:
One minor critique: I'd eliminate that top ring altogether. The straight-line "cog" effect of the walnut there detracts (very slightly) from the flow of the walnut 'curves' in the main piece.
(Joe, if the pattern is the one I think it is, it looks the same east-west as north-south, but there are some interesting curves from offset angles, e.g. north-northwest.)

I agree. But I think the maple layering is all North-South. That's why I asked.
