Woodturning a segmented resin Chakra Yoga accent lamp

Hello and welcome to my channel. In this video I will show you how I made this cool chakra yoga accent lamp for my wonderful Debbie to enjoy during her yoga/meditation sessions. Chakra translates to wheel in Sanskrit and refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. Each color has it's own meaning.
Red = Physical identity
Orange=Creativity
Yellow=Confidence
Green=Compassion
Blue=Communication
Indigo=Imagination
Violet=Awareness
The function of the chakras is to spin and draw in this energy which explains the circular design of the lamp.
Two pieces not presented in the video were the base which was turned from a square piece of Indiana black walnut and the circular lid which is also walnut and removable. The primary lighter wood is Indiana Hard Maple.
Namaste!

Very clever approach. Love the final effect! Perhaps the tallest single segments I've seen for a woodturning project.

Outstanding! Thanks for the commentary!

[@danamorrow5352]

That looks great! Do you have to clamp the segments individually for the joints to hold during turning? I would probably have used a 2 or 3 strap clamps and had it explode during turning.

[@SapperWoodworking]

Dana, No I did not have to clamp separately. However gluing the vertical segments end grain to end grain was a concern. In addition to its aesthetics, the walnut ring on top was used to support and secure the vertical segments, also having the sacrificial ring on the bottom during most of the turning process would Insure that everything stay together. Thanks for commenting and happy new year.
