Walnut and Maple with a blackwood finial. Glued these rings up probably a year ago and lost interest so finally got it done while glue was drying on some stave pieces I'm working on. Measures 7 wide 9 high. Mylands finish.

Just think, if it was a solid wood bowl, you would only have a couple of more years to wait for it to dry out and turn it, so you are still ahead of the game!Originally Posted by mike fuson
It is a very nice piece, Mike. I like the way that the lid sits inside and is flush on the outside.

Very nice and I agree with Mike about the lid.

Nice job Mike. I like it.

Mike, you really did a great job on the joinery. All the rings step up very evenly, and the rim divisions are dead on! Beautiful piece!

That's really cool Mike. I'm really impressed with getting everything lined up just right. Well done.

Beautiful! The only critique I have has to do with the solid wood lid. I made a similar one several years ago, and discovered that seasonal humidity changes make it expand/contract a lot more than the segmented vessel. The result with mine was that during winter (low humidity) it was a sloppy fit. During summer (high humidity) it was too tight. Since then I stopped making solid wood lids.
