first segmented bowl!
 

Two weeks and 276 trapezoids later...

At first, Pat said she didn't want it to leave the house.

Later, she said she was going to buy lots of raffle tickets (this
piece is for a charity raffle).

Next, it was "you know, if I don't win, you might have to build a
second one."

I think she likes it :-)

Very nice job DJ

You better start building the second one, I'm sure she likes it.

Have fun and take care

Very nice, DJ, but then you seem to be able to do anything you put your mind
to! I can see why Pat likes it and I'm sure it will bring a nice amount
for the charity.

Take care,

I certainly try. Being the engineer type, I choose projects for their
technical challenge, not their artistic challenge. This one was a
challenge! I spent hours just setting up the saw to make those cuts
as precisely as I could.

That's what I keep telling her. "I'll have to buy a lot of raffle
tickets to make sure I win it." "That's the whole point." :-)

Follow-up... The 20 items at the raffle earned about $4000 for our
scholarship fund (a record!). The segmented bowl Pat wanted so bad
was one by... my son Jason! He says he's keeping it just so I have to
make a second one for Pat (thus she gets to choose the wood etc).
