Chief Joseph Sunset

291 individual pieces of Figured Maple, Ebony, Paduak, Bubinga and Yellowheart. A neighbor gave me about 500 bd feet of this figured maple that his father-in-law milled and stored in an old shed for almost 30 years.

Wonderful work. I'm glad you have the patience to do all this glue-up. I would have pitched all three pieces before I got them halfway glued. Nice work with them. 8-)

Wish you could somehow post a detailed video on how you did all your pieces. I know the basics, what I want to know is how do you put something this complex all together (in your head), as well as while cutting the pieces. Wonderful work Thumbs Up!

I agree with what has been said. I thought the others were good, but this one is great!

Thanks all for the nice comments. It is a challenge but I enjoy this type of turning. I did buy Tibbetts book and followed his recommendations on jigs etc which helped get me pointed in the right direction. I am working on two new pieces and have taken photos of the process but not video. I think Malcom is coming out with DVDs soon on how to do some of his work. That is definately on my "to buy" list.
