Nice. It's visually striking. The second photo almost makes me think their are stairsteps inside the form.

Mike, very nice as always. Steve, if you search "bowl from a board" on Google, you will find articles by Edward Burlington that give a nice explaination of the technique. Endless possibilities.

Nice Bowl.What type of glue is used on one of those bowls?

Well, it is maple and walnut, so it has a really good head start!!Nicely done, Mike. I like the illusion, and you did a great job pulling it off. Probably not my cup of tea, but a great piece, nonetheless.
This may be a good example of Curt's ongoing thread on craft vs. art. This piece has a lot of "craftsmanship" in that the glue up, the turning, the form - all are done extremely well. The "art" lies in the combination of the "slices" and the choice of woods, all in combination with the form resulting in a visual impact that may appeal to one's sense of beauty. At that point, it becomes a crap shoot on whether it will appeal to everyone. I suspect that any piece of art will never appeal to all that see it.

Very nice. I have trouble focusing on the first picture!

Yeah, I'm a little dizzy myself. I have to say Mike, that you "love a good challenge", and you always seem to pull it off professionally and with heart.
Very well done, as always, and certainly admire your skills.
