Here is the piece my wife has wanted me to make for her for the last eleven months. I've spent the time learning how to do it, including learning how to avoid wrecks like I posted earlier. I think it was worth the mess.
Under the clear lacquer and dye is about 20 board feet of maple.. The final piece stands 28" tall and is 15-1/2" diameter. If the rough diameter had been 1/8" larger, it would not have fit in my lathe. I think I missed an easy chance to "justify" a big Robust lathe here.

We do segmented turning, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
