    Default Here's another Segmented turning I recently finished

    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.

    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?
