Lew I found all that math in the egg video very boring. It left me wondering why go to all that trouble for an egg when he even said real eggs do not comply with the math. But the inspiration was the segmented egg. I have all these small scraps and need a use. Like any project just not enough of the right kind of scraps do cut some more. 
 

Have to work on glue ups as had a void. So used CA to cure that. Lacquer for finish and away we go. Man what kind of chicken laid that?

 

 

Thinking maybe a little exotic in the next batch. Just so much glueing for just a few minutes turning. Mmmmm wonder if could turn some of the blocks in glue up sideways. Yeah the ideas keep rolling.

 

By the way before the questions come in woods : river birch, walnut, cherry.

I agree about the math. Never saw a chicken with a calculator

C'mon Lew. Family forum here.  No posting nekked chickens! 

Wooden eggs come from wooden chickens.

No need. Chickens aren't optimists...counting their chickens before they're hatched. Hmm. it's doubtful they count them afterwards, either.

X2!

Very nice eggs and use of wood. I have made about a dozen Easter eggs over the years and the best I've ever seen was made by a child. It was made of dough and baked in the oven. Then it was decorated with food coloring and sprinkled with sugar. It was mostly round and I asked if it shouldn't be more like an oval. His answer was that this egg wasn't just an Easter egg, it was HIS Easter egg. 

 That made it a perfect Easter egg.
