Nice piece Ad, Very nicely turned and finished. I hope there is no conflict between movement of the oak and the laminated rim.

Nice.

How do you mate the rim to the body? Precision machining is an interesting challenge, but I'm testing a trick with a band saw, for segmented work in general.

Cheers,
Joe

This is how is made the rim to the oak body, see sketch.
Did it for the first time, since I saw PVA glue creeping movements in segmented constructions, hope this will help
