Continuing my segmentation journey, I made this ornament. There are many things wrong with it. The most noticeable are I unintentionally used a different pattern for the top vs. the bottom. I got one of the center two rings too thin (I am sizing and flattening on the lathe). You can't see this, but the top and bottom are much too thin. I used the EZ-Jig sphere jig for the final rounding. BUT, again, I learned a whale of a lot....if there ever is a next time.

The main woods are honey locust and black locust - the center two rings are oak, walnut and cherry. The finials are buckthorn. Finish is wipe-on poly and buffed and waxed.

The ornament looks good and not many people, other than turners, would be bothered by the slight discrepancy in the rings.
TIP; if making a piece in two halves, always make the adjoining (mating) rings a bit thicker. This allows for alignment and sanding, while keeping the desired thickness of the rings. In short, cut a little big, sand to fit.

One critique is to try and balance the finial and the drop or icicle as some call them.
in your piece, the top is very small and the drop seems a bit too heavy in relation.
