Hi All, I went to a craft fair in Cary N.C. and saw a woodturner who did segmented bowls. Unlike a normal segmented design these bowls were segmented in the horizontal plane or rings glued together. I talked to him and he said he used a "Ringmaster" tool to make the rings which were then glued together. Anybody ever use one of these? I do some segmented work which is probably more flexible but uses more wood than the Ringmaster method. But it was an interesting concept. Here's a link:
