Segmented and Coopered Vessel
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: William Miller
Miller’s vessel, influenced by ancient Grecian urns, is segmented and coopered. The basswood segments are beveled on the edges and separated by 1/8-in. walnut spacers. The neck and base (made from ebony, walnut, holly, and bloodwood) are turned separately and then fit to the middle section. Miller sprayed the piece (8-1/2 in. dia. by 8 in. tall) with lacquer. To draw the eye upward, he used a flat finish at the base, a semigloss in the center, and a gloss at the top.
