Keith I do not keep track of hours, it would take away from the fun experience. if you look at the first post it was made 6-5, the gluing and turning started about two weeks before. I'm guessing 2-3 more weeks to fully finish this piece, I'm in no hurry just want a certain look when finished. there is still a few surprises that will be added to this piece. Thank you for taking time to comment.Originally Posted by Keith Outten
On another note I have not heard from John K Jordan in quite some time is everything okay with him?
Thank you
Bruce Lee Jones

Bruce,
I understand your decision to let the hours go where they may on this project, sometimes its the journey not the destination
John's last visit here was on April 22nd, I will see if I can find out why he has has been gone so long.

Hello once again everyone I had some time to work and have made some good progress on this project. I'm over half way around carving flowers on the inside rim and have six of the flowers on the outside carved.

FLOWER OF LIFE
Okay everyone this project is coming to the end. I thought I would show the last major cutting & carving section. The very center can now be cut in, the photos should show how I'm doing this process but if you have questions please just ask. The next post will be of the finished piece with a few surprises I've added.

Mandala " FLOWER OF LIFE"
This piece is now finished.
This semi segmented piece is made from Red Elm, Pommele Sapele and Tigers Eye stones. The finish size is 13" D x 6" with some pyrography work, the final finish is lacquer. After turning on the lathe the pattern was hand drawn and the pieces was hand carved.
