Globe on a stand

I just finished up on a project for a neighbor, a globe she plans on woodburning continents on that can be popped apart and the top set on an extra stand made for it. The globe/bowls are of birch cut and stack glued from a board. The finial is purpleheart and stands are curly walnut. I turned each half separately then cut matching tenon and recess on the rim then put them together and finished contouring them together. The stand for the top has a felt lined hole for the finial to drop into and holds it steady.

Latitude lines! I would never have thought of it, but maybe you did. It looks like there are 8 boards/lines above the equator. Wouldn't it be cool....
