This segmented form contains 217 pieces of Leopardwood plus the lid and Ebony Finial. It measures 6" dia. x 11-1/2" tall. I turned this as a Christmas gift for my wife.

I am by no means a wizard, but I always assemble my pieces totally before turning and hollowing. Perhaps this comes from turning and hollowing solid wood pieces. It's just the way I have always done it.
