My 16th segmented turning, critiques welcome

[Dennis Peacock]

Absolutely beautiful piece Bill.!!!!!!!

Now....let me see if I can critique it a bit.




1. The form is too perfect.
2. It's a bit too round.
3. The colors are too pretty.
4. The overall curve of the exterior is far too continuous.
5. The bottom is too poportional to the oveall size and shape of the turning.
6. Most of all.........It's not sitting in my private turning collection.

Hey Bill...wanna trade turnings some time.?

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks Dennis. Let me get past this art & wine festival and I might take you up on some trading.

[Brett Baldwin]

I can only echo whats already been said. "What a BEAUTIFUL piece"!!

[Bill Wyko]

You are all too kind. Thank you very much.

I don't have my micrometer handy, but I think the layout of one of the segments might be a 64th of an inch out. . . .

That is awesome! Would you happen to have any shots of the preturned glue up? Thanks for posting these pics, VERY inspiring.

Regards,

Dustin

Tony what is the drum sander for? I don't have one do I have to buy another tool? Oh, shucks

[Todd Lord]

Wow Bill, That is incredible!! You are spot on!
I'll be sure not to show that to my friends, I can't compete with that as I got em buffaloed into thinking I'm the tops.

[Jerry Casler]

A beautiful piece, very well done.

[John Grabowski]

I have to say that your piece is truly awww inspiring. I hope to create something with such elegance someday!! Having said that, what sander are you talking about to sand this piece? I have been searching through Hartley posts and cant find anything.

Thanks For the beauty post,

Sorry Dustin, I had left my camera at work the durring the build. I do plan on doing a beginning to end thread like Steve did to help anyone who wants to try segmenting. My next project is to finish the Humidor I've been building for the last 6 months. I'll be posting that in general woodworking when I finish it. My next turning will have a new twist that I've not seen yet by anyone.
Thank you all again for all the kind words. You are all an inspiration.

[Chris Stolicky]

Wow. Good job.

I have not yet attempted segmented turning, but your work is definitely an inspiration to try it.
