I saw pictures of a place in Indonesia, and the images just got stuck in my head. I thought about building it for a while and thought it was beyond my abilities. A year or so later I sat down with some pictures, a ruler, calipers and dividers and started drawing each ring, setting the proportions and dimensions, and the number of segments per ring. Still, I was sure it would fail if I attempted.
A while later I built a wedgie sled and bought some templates and soon I was thinking about this again.
I surprised myself with how well it went. One thing I did was to get each ring to final size before assembly. This has helped me in other projects.
Looking at the pictures of Borobudur I saw many colors of stone. From almost white to almost black, with blue,brown, red and gray.
7" wide x 7" tall. 243 pieces, closed and open segmenting. Rings of 48,32,24,16 and 12 segments.
Another from that other place.

Looks great but this reminded me of bad water destroyed my stomach when I traveled to Indonesia, haha. Only one time I used a tap water to brush my teeth and it got me...
