Just your basic toroid, not a great one (or combinations) like Malcolm's work. Oak and walnut, 13-1/2" diameter, 60 rings of 12 segments. Needs more finish work and buffing. Also a stand of some kind. The one in the picture is cardboard. Just had to know if I could make one of these, and there was only one way to find out.

Now that is cool! Great work. I don't understand how but I know I like it. Is this the symbol of the vortex?I would say you can do it. Thanks for showing this beautiful work.
All the best.

Now that is impressive!!1 Just wish I had the patience to do segmented work. Love this piece even if I can't pronounce the name!...Bill...

Richard, nice job. The difficulty was certainly increased by having the spials complete themslves. Now that you've done this one, you can now attempt an unlimited set of shapes and designs. Good luvk.

Um.... WOW! Nicely done... I wouldn't even know where to start on doing something like this....
Thanks for sharing

Very impressive work Richard! Nice colors and you did great on all those joints! If you can do this - you can segment just about anything! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Richard, I have just one question, how many hours to get it to that point? I am not sure I could do it, as the men with the jacket with extra long arms would come to get me!
Nice work!!

Basic? Holy cow I call that level of segmented work ADVANCED! Fantastic job!
If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

Wow Richard, that's really something! I think the simple "Toroid" form is what makes it so nice. I gotta admit though, that was the first time I've ever seen the word 'toroid'. I had to google that and I'm still not sure I know what it means. In my truck driver world we call those donuts. Ya learn something new every day!

Richard,
Is the toroid hollow on the inside or is it a solid piece?
