Scorpius

[Bruce Jones]

Hello once again everyone here is my latest piece "SCORPIUS" This is a bit of a different style of piece for me. This piece finished at 13" x 10" x 8" it was mostly turned on the lathe then steamed bent, carved cut apart reassembled and colored. Made from Curupau and Canarywood. The final finish is satin lacquer.

Bruce, would you mind explaining how you join your segments? What type of glue and how do you clamp (if you do)? Any reinforcement? Do you use an armature like Jerry Bennett?
