Hello, I just found this site and have enjoyed looking a others work. Thought someone might enjoy some of mine. This is my second attempt a segmented turning. This is my third and my most recent try at segmented turning. This is made using an exercise in “The Art of Segmented Wood Turning” but Malcom Tibbetts. I used Maorke, Maple and Ebony to put this together. On the first two bowls I made I used a solid base this time I used a plug—Tibbetts says it will make the bowl more stable—kind of tricky to get the plug just right. I also made this one using two face plates then glued the two together when almost finished turning. A much easier way to smooth out the insides—it was not that hard to match up the two halves. I was able to squeeze my hand inside the top once glued together to smooth out the final joint, I used a card scraper for part of the smoothing. Worked pretty good, note my lathe is a 1642, 2hp Jet and it will turn very slow so a it was safe to stick my hand inside with the scraper. This one I finished with WATCO. Col D

That’s a great result. Still on my ever elongating list.
Are you cutting your segments on the tablesaw or the CMS?
How do you finish the glued edges of your feature ring components?
P.s. I too use the dual build up technique to get a decent thickness for bowl without the excitement of a blow out. <g>
Stellar job!

Bob, thanks for your comments. I cut my segments on the tablesaw with a special sled I made. Then to make the final adjustments I use my 12” disk sander with a sled and angle jigs. I do not understand your second question—once the featured rings segments are made up I cut them on the table saw and sander just like all other segments? Does that answer your question? Col D

These are by far the most ambitious practice projects I could imagine even with the books to look at. They certainly came out as if you had written the book. Keep ‘em coming.
