What ya'll think

Here it is 553 pieces of maple, yellow heart and bloodwood and a walnut plug in the center of the bottom :gar-La;

It had me worried turning the bottom, but it didnt get away:eusa_danc

After everyone's comments, the lady next door and Matthew (mraudio) looking at it and listening to the wife I went ahead and cut the neck down :argue:
If I should do another I am going to do something different on the top, just dont know what:nah:

Thanks for looking

the bottom

so you can get an idea of the size

It's awesome Earl, as are all your segmented turnings. I see you went glossy with the finish this time :icon_thum

I think you dun an incredible job!!! Now that you did it, I think the neck looks better shorter too.

 

[LeftyTom]

I just gotta ask, Earl, how much does a work of art like that fetch?

 

[froglips]

Beautiful piece!

When did you start hiring professional models to hold your work for the camera?

[skeeter]

Another awsome piece. Great work, as usual!

 

[Travis Porter]

Impressive Earl, SUPER impressive!

I don't think I would have the patience for all those glue ups not to mention cutting out all those small pieces.

 

[woodArtz]

Very, very nice Earl!:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum

 

[TedAS]

Way cool Earl! I like the shorter neck.

 

[littlebhuddha]

WOW! Absolutely beautiful!!!

 

[jamie]

I think that it is awesome!

How do you prep for something like that? The spacing is perfect, etc.

How do you glue it up?

A gaggle of questions!

A gaggle of questions!

the segments are cut to size first, each row being a different size, then glued on using a gluing platform and an index wheel

Your a wise man Earl :gar-La;

Nicely done as always!
Have you considered a tutorial on segmenting?
