Segmented Bowls

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

There was this:

128 Segment Wooden Globe

I made this as a wedding gift for my brother, it took a long time as there were 16 double sided strips to machine and it was a nightmare to glue together. It didn’t turn out as well as I hoped due to seams/alignment issues but overall I’m reasonably happy with it. I think I have a much better way to do it if I ever try to make another one. It is ~14" in diameter and made of Spanish Cedar. The back of each strip was milled with a 1/4" ball end mill and the front a 2mm ball end mill. I wrote so…

and I think the cumulative error angle potential was discussed at least once.
