I call it Kaleidoscope. 290 pieces of Lyptus, Padauk, Walnut and Maple. 8 coats of a tunge oil blend. 11x3". #2 in my Scroll series. Hope you enjoy it.

Ok, I'll once again admit that I'm not generally a major fan of segmented work, but this is an example of such that really wows me. This is wonderful! Great work. Outstanding work!

I too am not much into segmented pieces, but this is a-(maze)-ing.
I just want to know how you get the jointery so, (well at least fom the picture) perfect.
Hats off to you bro......

Like others, I'm not a big fan of a lot of segmented work, but this piece stands out as a great one. Great job.

This is going to hurt but here goes anyway. I started out with with 36 tiles 3/8"x2"x2" of padauk, lyptus and walnut. Then I made two sets of router jigs with a 4" dia arc, one male, one female. These must have a tight fit, no gaps! Each set is for a slightly different arc. Then I made stop blocks to hold each tile. Again, the fit of the stop blocks on each set of jigs must be exact. I then drew the outline of each side of one arc on all the padauk tiles and cut with a scroll saw and used a 1/2" pattern bit to cut the shape using the jigs. Then it just a matter of doing the same to the fill pieces, glue them together and do all over again for the contrasting wood. First round I filled half with lyptus and half with walnut. This will give you the overlap after the secound of assembly. I took pictures so I'll put together a new thread with them. Careful what you ask for.

It's an amazing piece. The only problem is that the padauk will, in a year or two, turn to brown and it will be hard to distinguish it from the walnut. Bloodwood works better for a reddish wood because it will stay red.

Walt,
When you say a tung oil blend - is it your own? Is it something you bought?
I'm looking at different types of finishes and trying to find one I like. The finish on this seems to be close to what I'm looking for.
Oh, and if it's your blend, do you mind revealing your mixture?
Thanks

I use Jasco Tunge Oil. I can get it locally. Not much in my area without driving 50 miles or mail order.
