Wheel Of Delicacy #3 Butterfly Effect

My latest in my wheel series has taken a new turn , while there is no color added ,it is a lot wider than my last two, and is a lot more challenging with the glue up as well as the piercing , I chose no wood burning or color on this piece ,cause i wanted to see how well it speaks with out it.
I think i like this wide style a little more . and have many more directions i can take this .
wood is box elder and its 10 " in diameter and 5.25" wide
the inside is diameter is 6.125"
Beautiful Michael, just beautiful. I like the natural look also. Do you use a scroll saw for this work? Again, very nice indeed.
 
@michael alguire
Michael, I also do thin wall piercing very much like you have done in this exquisite piece but I would like to know how many pieces you made and assembled. I can only see one possible joint in the photo. It looks like the back side is solid (no center hole), is that true? I am very impressed with your tool control and maintaining line widths.
Great job,
Glynn
 
@Glynn Cox thanks glen there is only one joint and the center hole goes all the way through, this is a new venture for me doing the piercing still allot to learn but I'm enjoying it. I'll oust another picture of a font view.
