  • Segmented Turning in Practical Terms Preface Making Vessels out of Pieces of Wood Isn’T a New Adventure
    Segmented Turning in Practical Terms Preface Making vessels out of pieces of wood isn’t a new adventure. The concept can be traced at least back to making of baskets and kegs. These vessels evolved to meet a need, to store commodities from flower to nails. Woodworkers have elevated this process to create very attractive stave vessels. Other methods have been developed to mass produce vessels for consumer use; for example, salad bowls. Bowls in this genre are made from slabs of milled lumber or wedges of wood pieces glued up to form a blank from which a bowl is turned. These typically aren’t very artful, but meet the utility for which they are designed; for example, salad bowls. They can be very attractive. If the primary objective of the effort is to produce an art piece as opposed to the utility object then there are other techniques likely to be more appropriate to the task. The use of segments formed into flat or sloped rings opens a wider arsenal of designs for the artist. While there are other techniques, this article will focus on the segmented ring technique. Introduction There is a lot of science to the art of segmented vessels. The prospect of facing the details can be daunting even for the experienced woodworker. It needn’t be. This article is an attempt to simplify the process. While other means can be employed, the table saw will be used for cutting segments in this procedure. What is a segmented turning? For our purposes, we’ll stay with the architecture which glues trapezoidal segments into a ring and then glues the rings into a vessel for later turning on a lathe.

  • Pen Blank Segmented Bowls No Math...No Miters ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ by Malcolm Tibbetts

The ability to create a complex-looking, segmented turning with no math and without even a single miter joint is simply irresistible to most turners. This project relies on the concept of stacking bandsaw cut rings. The technique is not new nor did I invent it. Turners Mike Shuler and Michael Mode have used the technique for awhile with great success. Years ago, Dale Nish profiled the technique in his book Creative Woodturning, having adapted the technique from the salad bowl industry where its use continues as a means of conserving wood. WOOD SELECTION For this particular little bowl, I used small (about 11/16" square), resin-impregnated pen blanks (see Fig. 1). This material is ideally suited because it is quite strong, which permits a very thin vessel wall, and is available in many colors. However, as you will see, any wood type in almost any size may be used.

  • Notes on Segmented Bowl Construction Preparing
    NOTES ON SEGMENTED BOWL CONSTRUCTION PREPARING FOR SEGMENTED TUNING Major Equipment Here are the necessary and “nice to have” equipment requirements: • Variable speed lathe, firmly mounted • Thickness sander for flattening glued up rings (nice to have) • 6 x 9 belt/disc sander • Drill press or other items to use as a glue press Cutting sled In order to cut accurate segments you will require a fixture that accurately cuts the desired angle repeatedly, allows for accurate segment edge length measurement, and provides safety when cutting smaller pieces. For detailed information on building a cutting sled download complete instructions from either of the following sites: Kevin Neely’s Turned Wood www.turnedwood.com Verified Software www.segmentedturning.com Sanding board Construct this item from a piece of hardwood ¾ x 3 x 16 inches. Joint one face and edge flat and perpendicular, attached a strip of 80 grit sandpaper with contact cement. This will be used to square each ring to the lathe axis as the vessel is assembled. Supplies Here is a list of items you will need before beginning: • 60 – 80 Tooth finish cut blade for your table saw • Selection of hose clamps (6-8 various lengths) • Glue up board and paste wax • A minimum of two 3 inch face plates with hardwood glue blocks attached • Titebond II glue • Straight edge for checking rings • Disk/belt sander for correcting rings and flattening rings w/ 80grit belt • ¼ inch grid graph paper, ruler and compass Tools In addition to your lathe you will require a minimum of turning tools – most of which you probably already have: • Bowl gouge, ½ - ¾ inch for turning the exterior and interior of the vessel • Detail gouge for adding features to the foot • Large (3/8 inch thickness) bowl scraper for cleaning up inside • Calipers for determining wall thickness • Selection of cloth sanding strips (80, 120, 180, 220, 320 grits) • One Way Live Center System with an adaptor to match your lathe’s headstock thread.
