My second segmented bowl

[Dave Bureau]

I just finished my second segmented bowl. I'm still learning but overall I'm happy with the results. I think I found a couple of solutions the the rings sliding after clamping and will use them in my next project. The wood is Lacewood, cocobolo, maple, purple heart, and padauk

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice work Dave! Really like the design and form! Good choice of wood colors! Looking forward to seeing your next one!

[David Christopher]

STILL LEARNING !!! Cant wait to see what you can do when you learn how.............That is beautiful

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautiful...beautiful work!

[Jerry Casler]

beautiful turning indeed

[Richard Madison]

Very nice work Dave. Joinery looks good. Just a bit of misalignment above and below the feature? Outstanding for only your second attempt!

[Dave Bureau]

alignment proplems due to ring shift after clamping but i think I've got that figured out now.
thanks

[Paul Douglass]

keep them coming. You are keeping me inspired! Someday I will work up the nerve to try one. I think that is beautiful.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful piece for your second. Well done.

[Eric Magruder]

Outstanding work Dave, I think you have a very promising future with segmented turnings. Is that your first "attempt" in the background?

Cheers

Thats what I was going to say, wish I could "still learn" that good!!

[Jim Becker]

Very nice piece, Dave.

[Jim Swift]

Another great job!!!! Can't wait for the next one. I seem to have a longer learning curve than you do.:(:( Sent one flying the other day and I'm kind of discusted but not discouraged. EXCELLENT

Jim,

Don't be disgusted, it's only wood and you still have the experience gained through your efforts. I have sent several bouncing around the workshop myself, two off the lathe and one pulled out of my hand at the buffer. After the shock of the launch I try to memorize what I did wrong so hopefully I wont do it again.

One thing I've learned, the more important the piece - the closer to completion it gets before I blow it.

Cheers

Second one!!! sheesh, I might as well not even try!:eek:

[Don Eddard]

That's a very nice piece Dave. Aside from the slight slipping issue that you've already learned from, it looks great. The form has a nice flowing curve, which I don't seem to see often enough in segmented work. Great job, especially for a second attempt. (Your first attempt looks nice, too.)
