Hi Malcy
This looks superb. The above shot makes it look like snakeskin. Well done.

Hi Malcy, What a super piece of Segmented work I think this is one of the best segmented pieces of work I have ever seen in fact it is my favourite of all time.The number of different woods you have used and the planning and patience that it has taken is a credit to you. FABULOUS .Regards John  

PS. How many pieces in this?

Hi Malcy,
            I can see the amount of work and the care you have taken over this piece.
It is lovely and well worth all the praise that I am sure you will get.
I particularly like the way you have finished off the bottom.
Regards
John

Thanks for the kind words, guys. There are 1156 pieces in all (48 in each of 23 layers plus 4 rings of 12, top  and bottom). The base is veneered mdf set as a floating base (like a door panel).
