Great job. Vases can be more challenging and more interesting than bowls.

I am always impressed by open segment turning projects. Nice work!

I’ve dabbled in segmented turnings, but every time I try to do an open segment unit, I get just a bit of chip out, which is very frustrating.
This…is stunning.

Did you do this layer by layer? You know, add a layer, chuck it up and turn, add another layer, on and on.

Great looking design, nice contrasting woods, one beautiful vase.

Hello Tennessee, I assembled the bottom half first layer by layer, then when it was wide open like a bowl i turned the inside. then the top half was done in a similar way, then glue them together and turn the outside, thank you for your kind words, Lee
