Open segment turning requires a more delicate touch than I have achieved yet. One whole ring disappeared in the wreck, along with pieces out of three more. Actually, they turned into fragments and bounced all over the shop.
That's why we wear face shields, I guess.
The red and white effect was achieved by dying the segments before gluing. The segment gaps and ID stayed red while the OD went back to normal wood. I also added some dye to the glue to make any glue squeeze-out that could be seen but not reached less noticeable. I intended to dye the OD once it was finish sanded. Instead, I have kindling.

You didn't listen to Neal Addy Quote " Never ever under any circumstances make that last cut."
Never forgot when he said that.

Ahh Ken that was going to be one very nice looking vase and I hope I remember about dying it and turning it to get that affect.
I hope you can save some of it anyway for other builds.

Yeah that is what I was thinking, a lot of work to get to that point, what can be salvaged?

You could turn the 2 halves into pedestals for a platter or shallow bowl

that was exactly my thought. there has to be a way to salvage some of that work.

It was only a pine practice piece so it is now firewood. When I'm trying new things, like open segments in this case, I generally try it in cheap pine before I do the real thing. That way, "learning experiences" aren't so painful.

Pretty darn good looking for a practice piece.No get at the real thing.And remember Neal.
