​

13" Dia., Maple, Sapele, Cherry, Peruvian Walnut, Yellowheart.
200, 4 1/2" Dia. rings with 24 segments per ring = 4800 segments.
Rings were tapered from .210 to .060 before gluing into a circle.
This is my second one of these, first and last:gar-La;

Charlie....OH MY OH MY OH MY OH MY OH MY!!!!! 4800 tiny pieces of wood, all those cuts, all that gluing! all that turning! CRAZY Stunning! If I didn't know your talent and perseverance , I would say this is impossible.

I must stop now...my head hurts. How is YOUR head?

 

[PeteM]

[Joe Scharle]

Charlie, that is outstanding. Absolutely beautiful.

Also, I dropped about sixty boxes of #6, #8 and #10 screws, in various lengths. Do you provide sorting services? You certainly appear to be qualified in the superhuman patience department

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

It looks awesome.

 

[golfdad]

Charlie that is awesome. Maybe you could take up heart surgery next

Charlie, you are an amazingly talented craftsman! Plus, what all the others have said!

 

[Bill Clemmons]

Each one just gets better Charlie. But I'm going to have to stop looking: their making me dizzy. :wwink:

 

[KenOfCary]

Truly impressive. Precision and impression. The force is with you.

 

[Raymond]

Beyond words for me, Charlie. You have outdone yourself again!

I cut segments today for another turning. Only 431 pieces. I need a break.
