Thank you.That is one pretty bowl. Great job
Now, you did this completely in Segment PRO correct.
You said you ended with a 5/16" wall, is that pretty consistent all the way?
Did you leave the wall thickness in Segment PRO at 3/8" or did you change it at all.
How did the diameter and height turn out compared the what Segment PRO reported.
I believe you are the first to build a bowl complete using Segment PRO.
I'm just trying to get a feel of of how design translates to finished product.
How about a little review / observations.
No problem. If you feel the review should be put in a different thread feel free to move it.Nice review Thanks Glenn..........Good to hear from someone who has used the program from beginning to end.
Thanks
This project 1441 was this years entry to our local Woodturning Guild competition that finished today. I am happy to report that my bowl was picked by the most people for the "People's Choice Award".
In the Open, Faceplate category it placed second.
Thank you Bob.Congratulations
Well deserved

I agree with the people. Nice work. I only wish I was that good. I have tried some different things for the bottoms of my bowls, both inside and outside. The simplest was to insert one of the new $1 coins. I put one on both the inside and out. Another thing you may want to consider is getting with one of your friends who has a CNC router and have them rout some designs or sayings in the bottom. I do this on most of the bowls I now do and it adds a little something. I use artcam express which has a lot of 3d designs to work with and also sign my work with the CNC. I have done a couple inlays but I'm not sure I like them as much as the CNC but it is different. Anyway great job. One final thought on the judges comment. I use a lot of cherry because I got a lot of it cheap. I personally don't like it for bottoms because my cherry has some fairly distinct grain and in large pieces (bottoms) it seems to distract from the bowl design unless most of the bowl is cherry. I read that somewhere in a book by one of the experts. I use a light colored maple ( I have a lot of that too) that has very little grain. It seems to disappear in the design. I think it depends on where you want the viewers eyes to go. I hope they look away from all the mistakes I made. Just my thoughts
hi Glenn I've been lost in my own turning recently and miss the end of this turning, just wanted to say what a excellent piece it turned out to be, i carnt imagine creating a turning with so many segments well done. amazing and inspirational
