This took 8 months.
It is 8 months since I did a segmented job. The patterned top section has been floating around the workshop for about two years It was supposed to have been a clock face, but it only had ten segments, maybe it could have been a metric clock?????
. Made from black bean and silver ash, it measures 250mm diameter and 150mm high. It is not yet finished as I was trying to dodge the reflections. It will be sprayed with lacquer and buffed with EEE. C and C as usual are always welcome, there is always room for improvement.

segmented bowl
Terrific effort Powderpost. Patience is a virtue. I think it would have worn me down over 8 months.
My interest span is about 1 month, as long as I have several projects on the go at the same time. Drillit.

Thank you gentlemen for the comments. I think you have miss understood my comments in the post. It only took four days to make, but eight months to get back into segmenting.

Excellent work as usual Jim, I am astounded by your accuracy where the patterns meet, also love the little pattern of the overlapping squares in the bottom, top job.

Powederpost,
It's no good... You'll just have to do one with 12 segments for a clock!
Stunning, just stunning

Jim, you're a master in segmented work, in creating beautiful shapes as well as in patterns. This is a real eye catcher.
Very beautiful work, I admire your skills.
