This is an idea I have been playing with for a while now. I have a few other designs I want to bring this concept to, but I had to make sure I could successfully have protruding elements going two different directions, so I kept the design fairly straight forward. I really wasn't sure I could pull it off, as there were many challenges with grain direction, alignment and clamping techniques.
It's not classical segmenting, instead the main body is turned as one bowl then deconstructed and reconstructed with the added elements.
It's about 4" x 6" White Ash and Maple.
Comments please. I would love feedback on the idea.
