Route 66

Spirals are cut from laminated blanks made up of birdseye maple center, tulipwood and bloodwood.
The blanks were 6 and 3/4 long by 2 and 1/2" diameter.
The steps are 1 and 3/16" diameter by a 3/16" high 33 of them on 8 separate offcenters in the circle. The steps are not glued They are turned from the blank so 2 single pieces. Then placed together for 66 steps. Comments welcome

Hello Charlie
Thankyou for your comments.
I'm not sure what you meant with the segmenting!! . As each piece started with 3 pieces of wood glued together to make an oblong . Then turned to a round blank. Followed by each step being individually turned on its offcenter. The steps are not glued. And no segmenting in the original block just 3 pieces of equally thick and long woods laminated together so each spiral staircase is from 1 piece.
Best regards from Jeff.
