Of course I like the bowl! Of course Ill give a thumbs up! 👍 more than 1 if I could! I cant keep my mouth shut, so, im gonna comment! I would never be able to do one of these segmented pieces, because even though I know that all the angles have to add up to 360 to make them work, it still escapes me how to turn them, do the glue-up have it all come together, AND look AMAZING! Ok. Im just going to let you do them, Ill watch, and everybody's happy! You and Phil....you guys give me my amazement fix every week. Thank you both! 😊❤👍
Thanks so much Dave. The third step I did in this one had be thinking about it all going wrong. But I relay on my drawings to confirm it will work. As long as the all the other steps are right. In case you have not noticed this and coffee keeps me going. Take care, Gary
...yep...that turned out amazing...not thinking, I imagined you'd round off the edge, but I'm glad you didn't...it adds character to the piece. And I really liked the use of the duct tape...I need to remember that idea. Well done!...👍
Thank you very much. Yes I like the scalloped edges a lot. So I think it would have been really hard to line things up without the tape. And something like this I like to have all the pieces glued at once. Other wise 2 halves can be an issue with fitting together. Since I knew they would all fit that was the only option for me. Thanks for watching, Gary
i agree it is a great way to make something from hard to find wood. So friends of ours had to have a Walnut tree cut down because it was dying and becoming unsafe. They were very happy I took all the wood and am making things from it. The other option was it was going to be firewood. The big chunks I do get to turned are destined to be burned and I feel I am saving them from that. Just my thoughts on it. We have a tree in the back yard full of burls and I would never cut it down just to turn them. Thanks for watching, Gary
Good evening, Gary. I like your setup for holding the rings when you cut them. This project had me smiling all the way. Cut and glue, cut and glue. Excellent outcome and a wonderful design. A very eye catching bowl.
Thanks Ray. Oh yeah lots of cut and glue for sure. I had a lot of fun going from one step to the next. Especially when seeing that things were going the say I wanted. Happy you enjoyed the video! Take care, Gary
A really impressive work. Your ability to resolve problems and to share with others is generous. Once I'm happy with my home referd. Then I'll be back in my 8x11 shed and sort out my 14" band saw, 8x5" planer thicknesser, burnish the round bars on my lathe, check out the exstraction. By that time I will be in a position to see if our extraordinary government has left me sufficient money to buy wood. Fingers crossed and smile. It helps to keep you sane. Thanks again for your generousity. Ron.
Papa you are one smart dude! I so enjoy watching you work magic. You keep my attention and relax me at the same time. You keep turning, I’ll keep watching😊🎃
Thank you Larry and I do use those pieces and have a video on them. If I would have known I was going to use them I may have cut them just a little different but I still turned out nice. If you have not seen it here it is. ruclips.net/video/HOPL1zBRAf4/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
Thank you Tim. I have a box full of pieces I have not tossed. Sometimes when I do a fancy feature ring I make enough pieces for 2. When I have many setups to make them it is worth it. This one was a real bonus that was not even planned. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much Khan. That math can really come in handy. It was just another tool of my trade as a wood pattern maker. And I still love using it. Take care, Gary
Gary, thanks again for a great video. I look forward to seeing your videos and for good reason…terrific projects, well explained and showing the tools used. Thanks for sharing.
Wow wee Gary that's the best one yet, what a beauty, one day i tell my self, i'm going to catch you up and do one of those, might not end up the same but i'm going to try. Big thumbs up. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
I just don't know how you even conceive of these pieces, Gary but I'm glad you do! Your enthusiasm for this piece, from conception, to cutting to assembly and finally to turning and finishing, comes through in abundance! You are a like a kid in a candy store and I love it! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil
Thank you Phil. Well I spend hours of unseen work on my computer working all the details out. By the time I start cutting wood it is in my mind. Now I have to remember what is in there LOL. Seriously when each step works out I do feel great and I am sure it shows. Kind of like when I get an extra scoop of ice-cream. I was coughing and hacking with a cold coming so I think the next few videos will be on the simple side of things. Take care, Gary
Wow, I started to try and duplicate this and then I realized that there is some serious math calculations involved in order for it to look symmetrical! You make it look a lot easier than it really is. I have even more respect for your skills. Now i need to figure out what to do with the board I have laminated up. The radial, radial part of this is making my head spin….lol
Thank you Rick. I will try to explain it so your head is not spinning LOL First cut for the chevron was 30 degrees. Then after 4 of those are glued it is an 18 degree cut Flipped around we then do a 30 degree cut. Now I have made a wedge of 18 degrees and that went against the fence so both sides would have the fence set the same. Hope that helps a little. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary I think you meant flipped around you do a 36 degree cut because there are 10 wedges on the circle. My big issue was how to get the 18 degree cut to go from the middle point to the bottom tail to keep the symmetry. This is a function between board width and the width of each “3/4 inch” slice. This is the math that was making my head hurt. Extra coffee did not help….lol. I cut a scrap piece of wood the same width of my laminated board and I will adjust the width of each “3/4 inch” to slightly more or less until the 18 degree angle lines up from center point to bottom tail. Now I am ordering a digital protractor and making a angle cutting sled. Wood turning is such a cheap hobby….🤣🤣
Thanks so much Richard. Well I am a retired wood pattern maker and had to design all the patterns I made from an engineers drawings. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Richard. When I drew it up that top ring just looked that way. At that point I figured as along as it goes together it should look great. They all lined up so I left it the way I was hoping I could. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wonderful project and thanks foe sharing with us. I do have a request for a future video. I would like to see a video on how you make precise cites and glue up without pieces sliding when being clamped. These are two things that I could use help with
Thank you Ken and I will try to fit your request in on the next segmented video. But what really worked good here was to tape them lined up in place and then getting the glue on. I show that a little but I can do more. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Rick. Actually that edge was not as bad as I thought it might be. Holding a piece of sandpaper flat did the trick. As long as you do not angle it against the rotation it was fine. Sanding in between the scallops was the hardest. I have a number of sanding sticks that work good. Some I used at work and find I can use them here as well. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 wood is so much fun to work with, i'm making little sculptures (figurines) and when i have saved enough i'll buy a lathe to.. can't wait and thank you very much for some future inspiration!! take care and keep up the cool geometric designs, they are reminding me of the arabian geometric inlay patterns in like.. kind regards, laurens

Thanks so much Stephen. Happy to hear you have been able to reproduce some of them. I am guessing you will doing all of them soon enough. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank You Gary.. After your first cut (the scrap piece) I was wondering if in the future will you combine all into a "crazy quilt" ? ... This was a fun one Gary and the finished piece is wonderful. .. Great ring protecting device ! ... Gary you are so wonderfully honest showing all your techniques/secrets/procedures for your extravagant turnings. I was thinking perhaps just once to show an elaborate finished turning as a "mystery turning" ? Who can guess how ? Than show in the next episode and give us a week to think about it, HA. .. Each time you do one of these I think "how will you top this one" but you always seem to come up with something newer... Until next time ... TM
Thank you TM! I like your idea on the mystery turning. I may have to do that as I find myself with so many things going on it is hard to get the editing done. This would be a brilliant way to do it. Now just to figure out something for that mystery LOL. Take care, Gary
Thank you very much Jim. The math in this one was pretty easy. The width of the pieces to start with is what gave it the look. Thanks for your comments and for watching. Gary
Another winner, Gary! Good, good on the design. Good, good on the Ack’s carnuba (I love the hardness of carnuba). Good, good on all the points matching at the center. Good, good on the jig demo. So video rating? Good, good of course!! 😜🤣🤪
Thanks for your comments Valerie they were Good, good, good. It is not all that often I even need the points to match on the bottom but as long as your wedgie sled is perfect it is easy to do. I have watched those edges fall off from cutting at the speed you might do for a normal segment. Thanks again for you great comments. Gary
Thank you very much Tim. This one was very interesting because depending on how many segments I used the shape would change a lot. I picked this number because it left the scallops. Thanks for watching. Gary
Thank you Leslie. Have you seen my video The Great Illusion? I got that idea from a Ruth Ann Berry quilting book. I do not have the book by I saw the picture. I admire what quilters do and would love to see what you have made. Thanks for watching, Gary
Well thank you Ross. I was not really planning that. I would say I was testing myself a little. This was a first for sure and you did get to watch it all. Sure glad it all worked out. Thanks for watching, Gary
You, Sir, are a true craftsman. I've learned so much watching your videos and I enjoy them very much! I've managed to manufacture my own tool holder for the bowl from a board, now just trying to master the technique, trying to come even a little bit close to what you're doing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Michael. Happy you were able to make a ring cutting jig and it is working. Just keep doing it and you will be able to perfect the technique. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, I made your ring cutting fixture using a food grade hard plastic. Made 1 bowl from Poplar but turned into a disaster as I reversed the 45, 55 and 60 degree angles. Discovered what I did incorrectly and next bowl came out spectacular. Thank you for the innovations. Also made a Wedgie Sled but haven’t used it yet. Will soon though. Thanks. You are an inspiration. Robert
@@ThePapa1947 yes on the guide. I made it for the 3/16” parting tool I have. Bought another at 1/8” but want one at 1/16”. Will remake the guide then. Found the carbide tool to overheat in the slot.
Thank you very much Glen. I am happy with how it turned out and hope that I can get something somewhere close to this with the scraps. But I will be happy with it being half way close LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary Your videos are a highlight to my week. I keep seeing these segmented turnings that you do and perhaps I need to try one. I have done some segmented turnings but not with the patterns in them. Thanks for the motivation.
The bowl-from-a-board technique works perfectly here. I have gone to using a tilted bandsaw table and cutting half-rings utilizing a jig. The upside is that the saw kerf is only the width of the 1/4" blade. You do have to glue the two half-rings together. Minimizing the saw kerf is important, since the amount of overlap you end up with is: overlap = thickness of the board x Cosine (angle of the bowl from the horizontal) - saw kerf. So the steeper the angle of the bowl and the wider the saw kerf, the less overlap you have. Your pattern is beautiful, too!
Thank you Anduril. I used to do it on a bandsaw as well. I just did not like gluing them together in halves. My bandsaw blades are around .04" thick. My parting tool is .062 thick. Not all that much different. At least not enough to make a difference on how I do them. The other think I do is measure the bottom of the one I just cut. i use that diameter to mark out the next ring. So the insides always line up with no step. Lots of ways to do it and what ever works is what a person should use. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’m sure you’ve seen some of Michael Mode’s bowls that have an angle of 65 degrees or more. You can tell that he understands the math of this situation since his layers are so thick at this steep angle.
Thank you very much Bill. I put a lot of thought in these projects before I even go out to the shop. I want to be pretty sure it will work. Thanks for watching, Gary
There probably aren't more hurtful words that can be said to a woodworker, but in those final shots with that high gloss finish, it looks like it's made out of plastic.🙁. But I saw you cut up all those little pieces of WOOD and glue them up. It is beautiful and says very kind things about the craftsman. Once more, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Carson. I really need to do something about lighting as the LED's can make for bad photos. But I sure like working under them. Thanks for pointing that out it gives me something to strive to improve on. Take care, Gary
Another gorgeous piece. Your segmenting knowledge is incredible. I love the design of this one, the outside edge really makes it fantastic. Excellent finish as well! 🙂
Papa,
BEAUTIFUL!
Keep the aspidistra flying!

Hi Gary,
another amazing project. I save them all
and them as my treasure.
Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks Uwe, we keep almost of them here as well.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Thank you!
gorgeous and very clever. you should teach geometry.
Thank you very much Jim. The math in this one was pretty easy. The width of the pieces to start with is what gave it the look.
Thanks for your comments and for watching.
Gary
Looks awesome, really nice design..
Jack, thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
Another winner, Gary! Good, good on the design. Good, good on the Ack’s carnuba (I love the hardness of carnuba). Good, good on all the points matching at the center. Good, good on the jig demo. So video rating? Good, good of course!! 😜🤣🤪
Thanks for your comments Valerie they were Good, good, good.
It is not all that often I even need the points to match on the bottom but as long as your wedgie sled is perfect it is easy to do.
I have watched those edges fall off from cutting at the speed you might do for a normal segment.
Thanks again for you great comments.
Gary
Gosh, you do some amazing projects. Thanks for showing all your steps. You have a great eye for geometric shapes.
Thank you very much Tim. This one was very interesting because depending on how many segments I used the shape would change a lot. I picked this number because it left the scallops.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Beautiful! I'm a quilter, and pieces like this are sorta "quilting with wood!"
Thank you Leslie. Have you seen my video The Great Illusion?
I got that idea from a Ruth Ann Berry quilting book. I do not have the book by I saw the picture. I admire what quilters do and would love to see what you have made.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I have seen The Great Illusion, and of course I loved it! I hope you'll do more "quiltish" pieces!
now you are showing off Gary, lovely job and as always a superb finish on a gorgeous piece cheers Ross 👍👍
Well thank you Ross. I was not really planning that. I would say I was testing myself a little. This was a first for sure and you did get to watch it all. Sure glad it all worked out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
It’s one of the most beautiful bowls I have ever seen.
Thank you very much Ronnie. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Super cool, I Love it. 💗
Thanks so much Marge and thanks for watching.
Gary
You, Sir, are a true craftsman. I've learned so much watching your videos and I enjoy them very much! I've managed to manufacture my own tool holder for the bowl from a board, now just trying to master the technique, trying to come even a little bit close to what you're doing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Michael. Happy you were able to make a ring cutting jig and it is working. Just keep doing it and you will be able to perfect the technique.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice my friend . Brian Erwin NZ
Thanks so much Brian. I appreciate your comments.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Wow Gary that is an amazing bowl. I love the scalloped edge.
Thank you very much Jean. Happy you like it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I made your ring cutting fixture using a food grade hard plastic. Made 1 bowl from Poplar but turned into a disaster as I reversed the 45, 55 and 60 degree angles. Discovered what I did incorrectly and next bowl came out spectacular. Thank you for the innovations. Also made a Wedgie Sled but haven’t used it yet. Will soon though. Thanks. You are an inspiration. Robert
Thanks so much for letting me know Robert. Which part did you use the hard plastic on? The guide?
Have fun with the wedgie sled.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 yes on the guide. I made it for the 3/16” parting tool I have. Bought another at 1/8” but want one at 1/16”. Will remake the guide then. Found the carbide tool to overheat in the slot.
Another of your usually outstanding pieces. Great wood selection and attention to detail.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. I am happy with how it turned out and hope that I can get something somewhere close to this with the scraps. But I will be happy with it being half way close LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 You shouldn't say scraps. They are just off-cuts waiting for another project.😀😀
Another great piece Gary. The process is explained in easy to follow instructions. I will try to make one when my health is better. Thanks 👏👏👏👏👍
Thank you very much Steve. And I hope you feel better soon.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary.
Gary Your videos are a highlight to my week. I keep seeing these segmented turnings that you do and perhaps I need to try one. I have done some segmented turnings but not with the patterns in them. Thanks for the motivation.
Thank you very much Rick. Maybe start out by just adding the feature ring in a turning. That was the first part I glued up.
Take care,
Gary
This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!!
Thanks you Mike. I am happy you enjoyed it.
Take care,
Gary
The bowl-from-a-board technique works perfectly here. I have gone to using a tilted bandsaw table and cutting half-rings utilizing a jig. The upside is that the saw kerf is only the width of the 1/4" blade. You do have to glue the two half-rings together. Minimizing the saw kerf is important, since the amount of overlap you end up with is: overlap = thickness of the board x Cosine (angle of the bowl from the horizontal) - saw kerf. So the steeper the angle of the bowl and the wider the saw kerf, the less overlap you have. Your pattern is beautiful, too!
Thank you Anduril. I used to do it on a bandsaw as well. I just did not like gluing them together in halves. My bandsaw blades are around .04" thick. My parting tool is .062 thick. Not all that much different. At least not enough to make a difference on how I do them. The other think I do is measure the bottom of the one I just cut. i use that diameter to mark out the next ring. So the insides always line up with no step.
Lots of ways to do it and what ever works is what a person should use.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’m sure you’ve seen some of Michael Mode’s bowls that have an angle of 65 degrees or more. You can tell that he understands the math of this situation since his layers are so thick at this steep angle.
Lining the next ring up with the last one is a trick
Your methodology is very well thought through resulting in spectacular results.
Thank you very much Bill. I put a lot of thought in these projects before I even go out to the shop. I want to be pretty sure it will work.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A lot of work but well worth the effort. This bowl is simply spectacular.
Thank you very much Jeff. Yes a lot of work but the kind I love.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Stunning piece. Love the rim.
Thank you Jimmy!
There probably aren't more hurtful words that can be said to a woodworker, but in those final shots with that high gloss finish, it looks like it's made out of plastic.🙁. But I saw you cut up all those little pieces of WOOD and glue them up. It is beautiful and says very kind things about the craftsman. Once more, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Carson. I really need to do something about lighting as the LED's can make for bad photos. But I sure like working under them.
Thanks for pointing that out it gives me something to strive to improve on.
Take care,
Gary
Another gorgeous piece. Your segmenting knowledge is incredible. I love the design of this one, the outside edge really makes it fantastic. Excellent finish as well! 🙂
Thank you very much James I appreciate your watching and commenting.
Gary
Love it
Thank you very much.
great job
