    holy cats! That's really good.
    Like was asked before, could we see a profile pic?

    I'm jealous, my kids wouldn't allow either my wife or I the time to get something that intricate done.

    I am usually not a big fan of segmented bowls but HOLY COW it that cool! I agree, we need more pictures and details about the construction.

    Nice, very nice.

    Thumbs up

    I really wish I could use frofanities.......completely STUNNING!!! I'm working on my first piece and want to get away from the segmented indian stuff....I admire the indian stuff, but you're style is more up my alley. once again I can't say how amazing that is. The originallity is breathtaking...seriously.

    Also thanks for additional photo. Photography is a whole 'nuther vortex to fall into. Probably one vortex at a time is good. What sort of jig or alignment fixture did you use?

    The cool thing about open segments is that your miter angle can be off by half a degree and it can not be seen and doesn't matter. Alignment is more important.

    Truly a test in patience!

    Tom, You have the patience of a monk to be able to do that and not go goofy!! Great piece of segmented work, I think I could make about 2000 of those with all the little chunks I have sitting around! But they usually heat the shop in the winter!

    Thanks for showing it to us,

    Jeff
