A Request for You Segmented Turners

[Von Bickley]

I am not a woodturner but I do admire the beautiful segmented bowls that you guys post here.
I was wondering if any of you guys have pictures showing the process of making a segmented bowl. I would love to see the process from cutting the pieces, glue-up, bowl turning, with a description of what's going on.
Do any of you guys have something like this that you can share with us. Thanks in advance if you have something.

Von, this sounds like someone saying they don't want to go swimming, but they would like to stick their toes in the water!!:D;) You might as well start looking at lathes - just a matter of time!

Go to Utube and search "Segmented Turnings". Watch a few of those and I know you'll be buying your first lathe soon.

Already have one, but I'm not a woodturner.

Von, If you want a good book on the subject get The Art of Segmented Wood Turning by Malcolm Tibbetts. He goes into great detail and uses lots of pictures.
If you order it from Malcolm it will be signed by him.

There's some good starter stuff on Larry's site:

You can also go here for another from Larry and one from Bud Latven. Go to the AAW tab and scroll down.

Malcolm Tibbets did a cute video called "Seggy's Dream", that shows the process.

Ryan beat me to it but both are pretty good.

Here is a good tutorial, which covers more cutting/assembly and less on actual turning techniques. The site also contains a lot of segmented techniques and plans for jigs, not to mention great turnings.

2 books to check out. One is a tribute to Ray Allen and the other is by Malcolm Tibbetts. Both are what got me started. As far as looking but not touching goes, forget it. You are already too close to the edge. One small move and you are going in the drink.:D
