Segmented Vase
Aug 02, 2009
Decorative segmented vase made from 204 individual pieces of wood. The primary wood used is American Beech, decorative features consist of Walnut, Maple, and Cherry. (all from the scrap bin) The vase stands eleven inches tall and is about six inches in diameter at its widest point. Both the inside and the outside of the vase is finished with a durable clear finish material that renders a deep smooth reflective sheen. The nature of the turned wood and the finish causes your eye to see different shades of color in the individual pieces of wood as the vase is viewed from different angles.

GPR, this is a good looking segmented project. Every time I try one I somehow wind up with a segment piece that is just a hair larger or smaller than its neighbor and I really don't notice until I glue the stack up. As you know the error usually is really visible.
Any thoughts for a novice segmenter on avoiding the problem?
Thanks-
