Salad bowl = 1st complete segmented project

Project by Rj posted 212 days ago 455 views 0 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is my 1st completely segmented project = Salad bowl for my wife for Easter .

I’ll be making 4-6 smaller bowls & some Utensils = 2 forks & a large spoon that will go with this main bowl (after Easter)

It measures 14 1/2 inches in circumference/ round & 6” inches tall

Woods used Maple & Walnut

Finish Used Boiled Linseed Oil / Carnuba wax /Buffed with the Beal sys.

I noticed using oils on lighter woods (Maple etc. ) seems to make the seams more noticable because the oil soaks into the end grain more than the flat sawn or quartersawn sides.( I used Titebond 3 water resistant glue )
I was very pleased with the tightness of the joints over all but a little disappointed with the effects that the oil did were the pieces are joined together.
If you have any tips to combat this issue I’d appreciate it ????

Thanks for the complements and advice
peruturner this bowl is going to be used for food , I was told and read not to use surface top coat type of finishs on this type of project as they will in time flake off and are hard to recoat ?

When using a project for food it will eventually need to be recoated due to usage.

What a beauty!!! I too love the bottom work and the varying thicknesses. Pile in the potato salad in that baby, oh, I suppose you’ll use it for things like leafy salad right? Great job Ron.

Nice job. Look up a friend of mine Curt Theobald, he is the finest segmented woodturner living. He has some real good aids that will expand your segmented turning adventure. Again great job on this piece.

I have never done a segmented bowl and now you have given me a reason to try. I don’t know where to start do you have anywhere to get ideas and how to start.
