First turning of the winter.
Australian Lacewood, Peruvian Walnut, Maple, and Black Mesquite
with Maple and Ebonized veneer details. Lacquer Finish - incomplete.
Ended up "thicker" than intended.
Now using larger graph paper and drawing to scale to better predict
the final shape. Next one should be more what I'm after.

Waaay too many hours. Now to find some fool who wants a $500 pot. ;-)
FWIW,

Hi Greg, If your not happy with the thickness why not remount it and
reduce it a bit. If you can't get the calipers inside because of the
smaller opening why not cut the rim off, re-turn it and put it back.
Usually too thick isn't a problem. Better too thick than too thin.
Also unless you really enjoy the drawing process a program like
woodturner pro will save a lot of time and headaches. While I like the
drawing process it gets old after a while. I'd much rather be building
and turning than drawing. Bob
