    Segmented Turning

    This is my latest Segmented turning. I've included several elements that I've used in other turnings. Hope you like it. it's about 8" Diameter x 15" High

    Wow! Absolutely stunning. Any pictures of your glue up process? I'd be curious to see how you do it.

    It is a complex and beautiful segmented piece well beyond my skill level. The bulb of the finial appears a bit plump. A small thing indeed. Truly fine work.

    Great piece! Can you provide some insight on how you made the feature (middle) ring? It looks like the diamonds are going into each other.

    What a marvellous piece! If you could get the exposure worked out in your pic, it would show it's beauty in an even better light! Truly exquisite!

    Don Jarvie Great piece! Can you provide some insight on how you made the feature (middle) ring? It looks like the diamonds are going into each other.

    Don, I started with about 14" long square sticks. The brown is walnut which is 3/4" Sq. The red is Cedar which is 3/8" Sq and the white is maple, also 3/8" Sq. After all of the pices were glued up, I trimmed the outside half of all the white squares and the two walnut squares on the ends. I used calipers to make sure the pices were uniform in height and width. Then I cut the glue-up into about 7/8" Lenghts. and cut the ends of each block at a 15 deg angle. I don't have any pictures, but I'll take some the next time.
