When I get up the nerve!!
Think I want some more layers, more layers is more strength??

Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

I find that tolerance to be unacceptable. Is there any mention from Jerry that they will be checking their process and maybe replacing your plate.
Row 11 in glue up
A little turning to get a feel

Awesome Bob, looks like it's going to bud nicely.
Just glued on row 16, There are four more open segment and then three closed segment.

We need pictures!!!!!
Three more open segment rows to go then the three closed segment rows.
This is where the top really starts to flare out so I wanted to get some of the turning done at least do deep

Beautiful setting for your unturned bowl, just imagine what it will look like turned and finished! Awesome job Bob. Do you have and fingernails left to be able to turn it???
Started last nigh a little. The inside of the top ring. The thin maple ring sandwiched between the walnut I think is going to be nice.

I look forward to seeing it turned. Make sure you post a close up picture of that detail.
Oh probably will not have to it really stand out. On the inside there is a taper to the ring so the maple accent rely stands out

Just a thought for some of the first timers watching this thread. For me when I'm turning the inside of open segment piece: Most turners don't like to work deep in a bowl with small tools because of leverage. When I do my Christmas ornament balls I will turn the row below the top row to get it round. It is easier to finish turn later if it is not rough on the inside. Go slowly. The top row helps keep the segments together. The other thing you can do is put a closed row in every 3 or 4 rows and then turn the I.D. If you build it into the design it can look good and makes turning much less stressful for a beginner.I like to turn the outside round each row so that when I'm turning the inside or sanding the face I don't have those sharp points going around. Hard on the hands.
Bowl is now turned and sanded out to 400 grit, I have managed to keep the ID inside of the OD. 
Now to pick all the little fuzzes out of the hole before finishing.

Very important to keep the ID <OD otherwise when ID=>OD=Bowl is now turned and sanded out to 400 grit, I have managed to keep the ID inside of the OD.
