    Nice job CF. I'm a segmenting apprentice myself and love the endless configurations that are possible. I haven't attempted a hollow vessel yet though.

    A question: do you hollow out the top and bottom sections separately before joining together?
    Don't Just Do It.... Do It HardenFast!!

    Thanks for all the ooh's and ahh's regarding the segmented vessel, they are much appreciated when given by the people who meet on this forum.

    Regarding the making of the top and bottom sections had I been smart initially I would have made them separately and then joined them, however, not being a member of that set I did it the hard way. It was difficult to thin the top section and on one or two occasions I thought that I had blown it. Much to my surprise it turned out to be satisfactory.

    Ah, sometimes the mistakes turn out to be better than anticipated. The trick is to never throw anything away; even mistakes can frequently be used as part of another project.

    Thanks for your interest and comments.
