My First attempts at Segmented turning

Real nice! Tom
You may want to stagger the joints on each segment ring for strength. Essentially the same as a brick wall. Each ring should be offset by 1/2 segment so that the joints don't line up vertically. End grain joints are very weak. Having them run the entire vertical length makes for the very real possibility that the piece will self destruct over time and almost certainly if dropped.
Ty for the comments and suggestions
