Quote:I also wonder if some clever work with cross-sectional drawings would allow you to rough-cut the slabs into arcs before gluing them together? Kind of like the plywood-ring method, but on a different plane. Less wood would be required, and it would be less work to shape it.
I did this successfully to make small unfinished aspises to test to destruction for something I was doing. I have not as of yet tried to do it for a full-sized model. I would love to have the measurements of each of her individual planks after the turning was over. Shame you can't take it apart and make patterns for all of us :wink:
Beautiful work.
