This one is ok!
This bowl is the second attempt. 260mm diameter and 140 deep, made from black bean and silver ash. The motif in the bottom is made from black bean and silver ash also. The last one like this had a few flaws where the vertical joints didn't quite line up. This one is ok. Wall thickness is close to 6mm. Three coats of sanding sealer to fill the grain and three coats of 60% lacquer, cut back with 800# and 1200# wet and dry paper. Then cut back further with Ubeaut EEE, to rebuild the gloss.
Fairly happy with this one.

Jim, I found the first already great, the second perfect.
I enjoy looking at it and think I have a lot to learn in order to do that.
You will have spent a lot of time to make this creation, from design to finished product.
I can only have great admiration for, beautifully segmented work.

Outstanding stuff as always Jim

stayed in one piece and not at all fussed if the bits didn't quite line up

Jim I think that is a masterly understatement.

Every time I look at your pieces, I think I really must give it a go
. Then the next thought is that it would look truly rubbish next to your work
Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
