comments: This one was a REAL pain to make because of the odd angles used and the wedge shaped pieces. Every time I added a new piece (and notice how a great many of them are wedges, not parallel-edge pieces as in most of the bowls) it was a pain to clamp it. The odd angles and the wedges and the multitude of small segments produced a very busy look, which I kind of like but I don't think I'll do another one of these --- too much effort in gluing the pieces together.
