The nova Cole jaws fit over the bed.
214, 360, 684, 1020, 1440, 2160, 2880, 3600. Bought 3/2009.
Roger, sent a P M, or at least tried to.
It appears that you may have some segments with exposed end grain, with some tear out . Useually segmented turnings have long grain exposed, hence no end grain to contend with. Also possibly moving...
Looks very good, lathe and bowls. Your present position could be a fire hazard with the base board heater.
See my response to Trying to decide on new tool rest. This page.
The Robust Comfort rest 12" is my most used rest, 1 St finger rides against the rest. I do a lot of bowls . I have the low 12" profile rest and find it very useful for finials were you can bring a...
Bill B. Is right on. Sometimes that is not possible. Then track down a turner in your area.
The rings are maple and Paduk . If you are working with a block of wood, you can cut off a slice from what would become the top. Glue in the colored layers making sure that all surfaces are flat...

11" x 6" vessel of Makore and hard Maple.. What is to like and what is not? Put your thoughts forth.
Very nice work on a complex design. I think the bottom is distraction for what little it is worth.
Draw the crosses as you are thinking with some differing proportions. Decide on the one you like the most and what is do able. Feature ring is usually at the widest point in the piece. Looks...
Using the second photo, I would suggest making a ring at the height of the cross piece, and trimming the two segments that butt against cross piece to fit. Then the next ring as you have been doing. ...
Without a drawing of your layout (plan) I can not be of help. Can you get a photo of such plan and post it. Then perhaps I or others can offer advice.
I have the motor you need. Did an up grade several years ago. In good running order. Located in eastern Washington. You may have had excessive belt pressure . PM me for more info.
Pushing out trees can cause ring fracture, making the wood worthless for turning.
