I've been to your site before. I'm curious - have you had any
expansion/contraction issues with the segments in the bottom such as

(about half way down the page)?

That one was done last March. I have been turning for less than a
year so it might be too soon to judge stability. In that bowl the
grain of the wood runs mostly tangentially to the bowl so any
expansion / contraction should be radial. I can't feel any
unevenness. I have had cross grain problems in the past and tend to
avoid it.

Most of the "top" segmented turners I've talked with say to avoid
cross-grain.
