Tri Corner - Trifecta bowl

I turned this in Jan this year. Was a bowl design I had in my head for about 3 years after watching a YouTube video. When I finally started turning in 2023 I went for it. I don't remember how many lamination's it took to make but it was well over 100. The goal was to have a block that went from dark to light and had 3 ascents meeting in each corner. Here are a couple photos as well as a YouTube video of this build that has 1.1 million views.
I made 2 of these, one with Padauk as the dominant color and one with Purple Heart. They each took about 50hrs to make and have a UV inhibitor finish.

Beautiful, well done. A challenging project that you conquered admirably. It is brave to present such hi-res close ups for scrutiny but they validate your quality of work.

Great work, I have seen your video on YouTube a couple of times and I am impressed with your precision and attention to detail. It is impressive the finishing, oftentimes, at least with a lot of the local Alaskan woods, it is hard to get a perfect finish without any scratches, especially up close in the light. The grain in the last picture of the bottom doesn't appear to have any scratches of any size.

Thank you Isaac. Glad you like the channel as well.

This is a gorgeous piece. I'd like to try a piece inspired by it, but I am a bit concerned about end-grain to side-grain joinery (over the long haul). My experience is that seams start to become evident (at least to the touch) after a few seasons of expansion and contraction. Any thoughts about best ways to prevent this from happening?

My thought on preventing that as much as possible, especially with the 3 ascents was every layer switched from end grain to edge grain. With over 100 layers being glued perpendicular to each other I hope they push and pull each other together. Still, im sure after a few years or sooner you would be able to feel some of the glue lines. It is what it is.
