Pen blanks but no pens
Hi folks,
So I quite enjoyed myself turning some NG Rosewood and Maple pen blanks into this little bowl:

But then had a thought... Is it going to destroy itself by wood movement? I'm pretty proud of my little bowl, would hate to see it disintegrate one day!
Joints are titebond III. Should be plenty of glue and surface area as the walls are quite thick, and I didn't really come across any cavities between pen blanks as I turned it, so I'm hoping the joints will be pretty solid. The layer of maple blanks in the middle is laid perpendicular to layers of NGR above and below it.
Cheers,
Danny

Nice bowl.
Wood will always move but I don't think you need to worry too much as it is a segmented bowl after all.
