15" Hand Made Segmented Bowl. Made from 217 Pieces of Various Woods.

Hand made by me from 217 individual pieces of wood: oak, maple, walnut. Approx. 15 inches in diameter, approx. 7.5 inches tall.
Large segmented bowls like this take a long time to make and can be difficult to handle on the lathe, and are therefore not common.
Indeed, I almost lost a couple of fingers while making the selection you see offered here, requiring a couple of trips to the hospital!
I really enjoyed the lathe.... but have decided I am now too old, so will be making no more.
I hope these give then new owners as much pleasure as I had making them.
I finished by adding numerous coats of hard wax, and buffing by hand. Just give it a quick polish once a year or so!
I have signed each work on the bottom.
