Thanks for all the kind and humorous comments. It was a fun and challenging project.
AgGEM, The curved top is laminated with 3 resawn pieces, glued with plastic resin glue, and bent over a shop made form. The vertical sides have two tenons that pass through mortises in the curved top. The exposed tenons stand proud of the top about 1/8". The "bacon strips" are fully mortised top and bottom but only about 3-4" in the center is glued. Maybe shouldn't have glued them at all. Time will tell.

I always think more Ceder should be used and I love the knots a lot to.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

The wine was just to add a touch of class to the photo. (you believe that - right?)
