First commisioned project

Post by ChrisNeilan »

My pension guy wanted a segmented bowl. He is paying me $125 for it (acyually a donation to the Rotary International Fund)! I figured it will cost me half of that to make it. It will have 457 pieces of wood- maple, walnut and purple heart :eek: . I have attached a computer simulated drawing and a photo of where I am now with it. I hope to have a video when done.
I think I've lost my mind! :)

Can someone rotate the blasted photo?

That's ok Chris. Math can be a problem, sometimes. :D

While this is 180 degrees opposite of how the photo was taken, this puts it in same orientation as your computer generated sketch. It is going to be beautiful!
