Boy that sure looks nice. How did you do the or cut the staves that long?

Thank you Arlin.....I didn't take photos while cutting the staves but I have a few photos of the Sled / Jig I used to make them and some of the project on the lathe. The one thing I did on this project was core a segmented ring; the center ring was cored to give me the top ring. To do this I used the PSI cut off tool that came w/ my basic set, running one cut at a slight angle the other inside cut at a 45 degree or better cut. There are photos of this also I'll post the ones I think show the most if you want me to post more just ask. 

This is the basic table saw set up I use for all my work.
Both angles are cut at the same time one on the left in one direction the other on the right in the other direction.
The blade angle stays the same.

Here are photos of the project on the lathe, this is the tallest vast I've made yet 22".

Coring the ring, then on the lathe.
