Over the past few years, I have turned several experimental projects involving irregular segmented rings. All were difficult. However, this one doubles the difficulty. Being slanted at a 20 degree angle, the rings want to slide past each others while being glued together. Now beyond that, I sliced the side of the vase and then offset it up one ring.

It has an interesting appeal. I saw one along the same lines at the Segmented Woodturners symposium. However, based on my previous experiences, I believed that I could derive a better creation process.

My 3D printer came in handy for temporary slanted base rings and for spacers to keep rings in line. This saved me from making them from wood or plastic by hand.

The vase is of oak and walnut with 12 rings of 8 segmentes each, totally 96 segments. It is finished with walnut oil.

Maybe I was crazy – you be the judge.

Enjoy.
