Segmented bowl

I like the look of the several segmented pieces you posted Jim. I just hope the rims do not separate from the bases after several seasons since it is difficult to get the proper grain orientation lined up on regular vs segmented pieces.

Jeff,

I woried about that myself, but some of these pieces are three years old and they have held up pretty well. Humidity change is a potential problem. We try to keep the humidity in the house above 40% during the winter. Grain orientation does matter, and I've taken that into consideration on more recent work.
