This was my first attempt at glueing a segmented ring on a diagonal in between two pieces of cherry to form a 4x4x4 block. It was all nice wood but I didn't like how thick the ring was. I made 3 more using the same process but experimenting with different wood, different position of the segmented ring, different thickness of ring, and different collars. I might also add that all 3 of these pieces 'shrank' away from the segmented rings leaving a noticeable seam you can feel as you run your hand over them. I guess the wood was green than I thought.
Philip, take your pick of the four in the challenge gallery.
