"OATS" Segmented Pieces For Show

[George Guadiane]

I have had these in various stages for a while, but I have a show this weekend, so I have been cleaning up and finishing what I can. There are a couple of my latest blank variations in there.
It's late, so I will take more pictures tomorrow, but I wanted to show off a little (as usual):rolleyes:.

[Jon Lanier]

Me like, I say I do!;)

[Terry Quiram]

George those are very nice. What is the finish?

[George Guadiane]

George those are very nice. What is the finish?
Thank You Terry,
The finish is a water based poly. I got a sample in a plastic container (like Chinese takeout), so I don't even know the maker - but I WILL find out!

Hello Mr. George,
Very nice work. What is "OATS"?

[Richard Madison]

Horse food.

Nice turnings!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice work George! Each piece is unique and has a great shape and finish! Really like the vase on the far left!

Hello Mr. George,
Very nice work. What is "OATS"?
Bill,
Are you actually the past world championship gurner, Or is that purty picture of someone else?:eek:
Richard:
Oats IS horse food, but MY "OATS" is an acronym for Off Axis Triangle Stave segmenting. I use that to shorten the description of the segmented blanks I make. The reason I bother to designate them in that way is that when a shape is applied to the blank, there comes an illusion of rotation.

[Bill Stevener]

One would think it should be a whole bucket of "OATSS" then. ;)

That should be Gurner, with a cap. G and No just for the month.

[Mike Vickery]

Those are some very nice looking pieces.

[Bill Wyko]

Great job. Let us know how the show goes. Good Luck.:)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are beautiful turnings George.

[Tom Sherman]

George I like your OATS, very nice. I have a friend that makes laminated lamps I have been thinking of trying your method for that.

[Richard Madison]

Thanks George,
We knew that but forgot. It's a very cool technique, and seem to recall that you explained it to us a while back. Please refresh failing memories where that was.

So many fun things to try, and so little time left to try them.

Should look great, pepper mills are another form that lend themselves to the concept!
