Okay so I am no pro when it comes to terminology of types of turnings.  Saw this somewhere and decided to give it a shot.  Not sure what it is called but looks cool.

 

Glued up two bases using a 1/4 threaded rod and some washers.  Neighbor gave me four large 5 inch washers so I used them to keep the bottom surface clean and flat.

 

I cheated on the bottom, since I already had to drive a 1/4 hole I went to the BS and used my circle cutting jig and rounded the edges off.  Less time on the lathe roughing it out.  

 

 

This morning I removed it all from the rod and this is what I had before going to the lathe.

 

 

And finally after a bit I had the 1st one done.  Found a hole inside the other base and filled it up with epoxy so it gets turned tomorrow.

 

That came out spectacularly!

Staggering those pieces is called something, not lamination, something else.  Bugs me I cannot think of the name.

Umm, no I think I am good at the moment.  That's way beyond my skillset.  

 Wow, the glue up alone would be a major challenge for me.

Looks great.  Nice job on the glue up.  Any mistake and it shows like a sore thumb.

Yeah I had a disaster like that once on a pen.  It let me know real quick I screwed up.  

That is a beautiful bowl, but I would be tripping. Reminds me of the 1960s.  

Nice job on the glue up and use of scraps.

Great job Gunny!

Really like the staggered glue up and wood selection for this.  Nice work!

Finished product ready to use this evening.

 

Very Nice!!!
