I've been wanting to get into segmented turnings for some time and finally took the time to set up fixtures etc. This is my first one and uses 7 rings of 24 segments each. I made it out of an old oak book case that I had around. There are still some problems with gaps, but it appears to be sanding and gluing techniques as opposed to fixuring and jigs. I'm working on 32 segment fixturing after which I will get serious about various woods and adding interest. There's a lot to learn.
