Segmented Turning
- Thread starter Kyle
- Start date
I have a web site devoted to segmented turning. It gives basic instructions & plans. Start small & work up from there. For good work the fit must be exact. All surfaces must be true and square. GT

Nearly all are orizontal segmented turning. You van get very nice vertical segmented effects, and you have somewhat less to glue together.
For a start I would recomend vertical segmented turning.
Enjoy it!
Malcolm Tibbetts' book on segmented turning is excellent as well and would be a good resource. "The Art of Segmented Woodturning; A step-by Step Guide".

Kyle I'll second Malcolm Tibbits book. I own most of the segmented books on the market and his is the best I've read. It covers a lot of different techniques and does it well. You can get them off Amazon. com pretty easily.

Simple segmented fruit bowl for Kyle
Ok here you go. Faceplate: screw wood disc to it for glue block. Glue 6" solid disc for segmented base, I would use walnut or maple, they part easy. Next size 12 pc segmented ring 7", then, 8", then 9" and last ring 10". Your flat boards should be at least 1 1/2" wide. Follow the basic instructions on my web site. www.georgetroygraphics. com.
I posted 2 photos of a simple fruit bowl in the gallery of georgetroy.
