Great looking glue up Robert! Do you ever have any cross grain cracking issues with this star? Looks pretty close to the pool, going for a dip, haha!!

Woods shrink in different amounts grainwise. Aligning grains help prevent this. If you took this star as built and resawed it, then staggered the glue up by giving it a twist (one half a segment) this added glue surface might hold things together better.
