Well done. David

This is where the size of the vessel is important.. If that base is more than about 4 inches diameter, you could see some base directional expansion issues and some of the lower row joints parting. For larger vessels, a floating base should be used. Something to bear in mind if you make any larger vessels in the future. Malcolm.

Post by: jabba2003 on October 21, 2014, 10:53:16 PM: The lower base is about 4", so I'll keep an eye on it for changes. To be honest in relation to the rest, when I did it, I used boards I had laying around and cut 12 segments per layer. Thanks for the advice.
