Segmented Bowl
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, hi!I've attached some pics of my attempt at a segmented bowl. I saw this technique online, I think by D.W. Montville, and I wanted to try out a similar style. The piece has a lot of problems, as do most of my turnings, but hey - that's what learning is all aboutIt's red cedar and plain old pine, finished with a mixture of BLO, shellac and DNA (Captain Eddie called it "OB Shine Juice"). Problems I had:1) the joinery is all over the place - I need to calibrate my power tools, and figure out a better way to clamp the glue-ups!2) the form was originally going to be a tad more elegant, with a big flared rim. I broke it. Oh well.3) Is pine known to be awful to turn? I had a terrible time with tear out, and sanding it was a nightmare (the cedar dust kept embedding in the pine, and the growth ridges became more prominent with sanding). Thanks for looking - I look forward to posting more "perfect" turnings in future!Lee
