This piece is made of oak and maple, measures 8 1/2'' tall and 6 1/2'' wide. Lacquer finish. I have been wanting to do something like this for a while, don't think it looks bad, but I would do things different if I had it to do over. Comments welcome.

Mike that is very cool. I like the looks of Oak and Maple together. You have made a very interesting design.

OK, Mike; what would you do different? The only thing I'd even consider would be to vary some of the grain alignment. Very well done.

Very different and VERY NICE! I love the design in the bowl along with the shape. Makes for interesting visuals. It's a great piece and one of my new favorites. Thanks for sharing!
Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

Mike, it’s always fun to see segmenters try something new. The subtle colors seem to work well together. I can’t really tell what you’ve done regarding wood grain alignment; I hope most of it goes the same direction. Regarding the form, with hindsight (which is always 20/20), I think the profile curve from base to the top rim has a few too many disruptions. Beads, etc are fine, but they work better when the overall outline flows. If you were to more or less “connect the dots” on this outline, the profile would not flow very smoothly. Just something to consider. Still – it’s a cool piece.
