Staved Vessel, A starting point

I was asked about how I went about building this vessel.

Here are a couple of things to get started with.
1. The software.

The Segmented Project Planner, or SPP, is vital for calculating the correct angles.
2. Basic idea

In this book Malcolm has a few staved vessels which gave me the idea to build mine. Although mine is quite different than his, the stave setup is basically the same.
Also the Segmented Woodturners AAW site is a great place for ideas and help.

As well as the info I mentioned. the links I included have a great amount of information about segmented turning and well worth a visit.

I will be building another vessel of this type soon, I can take pics along the process if anyone is interested. If there are any questions, just ask.

Secondly I left the bottom thick to give it some weight to help the top-heavy nature of this shape. I did finish inside the top to about the widest part. I will probably go a bit further on finishing the inside on the next one.

Really like the grain pattern on the birch. It takes some real work to get it to show up that clearly and not just as blotches. Keeping the bottom heavy makes sense. Finishing the inside of something like that has to be a real tedious job. Saw someone doing it with medical forceps/clamps, both straight and curved, holding the sandpaper. My fingers and brain hurt just thinking about it.
