Woodturning Open Segment Hollow Form Vase

http://www.AsWoodTurns.com I appreciate the form of classic vases and decided to turn one using open segmentation. This vase is walnut and cherry. Maple would have contrasted more but I think the tonal shades of the cherry blend nicely with the walnut. It is about 9 inches high and about 5 inches in diameter. This vase has 17 segment rings made up of 265 segments: 7 solid rings at 12 segments; 10 open rings at 18 segments; and one center base plug. The vase is finished with sanding sealer and wipe on polyurethane. I used an 18 segment SegEasy template to position the open segments and a Stomper Pro to assist in positioning and gluing up the rings.
