Two new Segmented Bowls

[Lori Kleinberg]

Bill, those bowls are beautiful. I especially like the first one. Thanks for sharing.

Bill,

Very nice bowls.

When creating the segments, are they the side grain of the wood or top?

Soon will be venturing into the segment vortex! :-)

Normally, segments are glued end grain to end grain to make up a ring, which makes for a very weak joint. Rings are then glued together long grain to long grain and the joints are staggered creating a strong bond.

Come on in the water is fine.

Both are very nice. The work is great. I do prefer the shape and color of the first. One of these days I am going to have to go segmental.

Yes, Black, dyed veneer.

Hi Bill
Interested in how you dye veneer deep enough to be still there when its turned??. I tried the vinegar and iron trick on some oak veneer but it only penetrated about 1/32" which could easily be turned away.

Two very nicely done pieces. I, too, like the first one better even recurved bowls are one of my favorite shapes. I'm just not wild about the foot, and think it would look better without one. JMO.
