Here's another Segmented turning I recently finished

[Bill Wyko]

I actually made 4 vessels with a similar pattern. These are a tribute to the late Ray Allen. Please enjoy.

I'm usually just a looker who doesn't make any comments but that is a spectacular turning.

Masterful work :2tsup::2tsup:
I appreciate the time and effort that goes into these pieces wish I had the patience and work are to prepare them. Alas until I catch up with current projects it aint gonna happen.:no:

Reminds me of marble. Well done.

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks very much everyone. Your kindness is an inspiration. I'm working on my most complex attempt yet. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks so much. That wood is some curly Maple I found in the stack of regular cabinet grade Maple at a wood supplier here in Tucson. I found 3 pieces of that. A lucky score for sure.

Looking to get back into some segmented projects shortly after a long hiatus, Bill.

That spectacular piece is just the impetus I need, although maybe a step too far for me at this point. I have one of Ray Allen's books and can see the influence & inspiration there.

What are the dark bands, by the way?
