Love the colors, Brian. And the patterns are a bit different than what we usually see. Good job!

I see quite a few of segmented works here and in social medias and this is one of the best. Excellent and beautifully done!

Paul, The piece is segmented because it is very difficult to get a large piece of wood to make this size of a piece, particularly in Arizona. I use maple for its light color and tight grain. Also, you want the grain to go in one directions and little end grain for this makes beading easier and the color can maintain consistency if not applied over end grain. I use large segments to minimize glue lines between segments and work to hide them in the burn lines so you have a very difficult time seeing that it is segmented.
