Gary thank you for sending me a link to that video. That is a beautiful, staved bowl. Even though I am carpenter I would have to sit down and do some figuring to make those cuts.
Gary, I am far from an expert, but I did take a class with Malcolm Tibbetts last year. One of the takeaways from his class is to always have the grain of the wood the same .For the bottom he recommended a floating base, turning a segmented ( vertical grain) ring and then insert a horizontal piece, not glued , in this ring.My struggles have been getting my staved ring square to vertical before I start turning it.However, I think I got figured out. Thanks for the reply, you are a very good teacher, thanks, Chuck
Hi Chuck...I am sure Malcolm has lots of great ideas and methods and I would never dispute how he does things. I have never done a floating bottom on a bowl but have thought about it. But I have never had one come apart how I do them. I think the humility around here plays a big part in that. I have a couple wide boards from Walnut that are each made from 3 narrower strips glued together. I glued them together 57 years ago in high school shop class. They have been stored in an unheated garage for most of that time. Just regular Elmers wood glue. They are still flat with perfect joints. This is one reason I think are humidity keeps things pretty stable. Same thing with my acoustic guitars. I would not glue one board at 90 degrees to the other but I would say the rings I have on the top of the staves will be fine. If the staves shrink the rings will move with it. The segments will not not expand and shrink enough to measure because of the small size. Again not disputing any other thoughts on this. I am always looking for a better way to do things. Gary
Gary, thanks for your input. Malcolm lives on the west coast, so I image the humidity there changes quite a bit. I am in southern Indiana, so our humidity also changes a lot, Making a vertical grain ring is just a matter of how you cut,( I know you know that ). Anyhow, his class was great, glad I took it. I consider myself a rookie turner, but I love segmented shapes, great fun. Thanks for your feedback, Chuck
The tough part of doing this kind of work is the time on the saw. You have to have a very accurate saw and very accurate measurements. What kind do you use? Is it belt drive? Your having been a pattern maker also gives you an edge. being able to visualize things. I've now seen all of your segmented turnings. I would have a lot of trouble doing this. My only advantage would be that I was a pro cad operator, so I can kind of see your concept ideas. You and your friend Phil are the best. ;-)
Thank you Robert and yes a good stable saw and accurate setup is crucial. I have a cabinet model Grizzly with a 3 HP motor. Although you do need that much HP but it was on it. And yes it is a belt drive. Yes I have to say my years as a pattern maker certainly does help. Looking at a 2D drawing and seeing 3D is what we needed to do. I also have a CAD system. I did not use any of it at work but I would stay and learn the system after work. They used UG there but I have BobCad at home. Plus I have 2 CNC milling machines. One is a Jet Mill/Drill that I converted to CNC. I put ball screws on it and built the control box for it. And I have a old Bridgeport Boss 4 which I tossed the electronics and built a new controller that lets me run as large of a file as I want. The old tape drive did about 100 lines tops of data and I have ran over 500,000 lines on some carvings on my system. I also taught myself programing and I have to say I do pretty well at it. I am actually working on a segmented bowl that has some complex shapes I drew up and programed. Even though CNC had taken over the trade I was in I still love it for my use at home. I was lucky to retire before it totally took over. Sorry for the long reply but I enjoy it when someone brings up things like Cad which is an interest to me as well. Thanks for your comments and I agree about Phil as well. Take care, Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary. You’re right, the grain of that wood is outstanding! The staves are a nice change of pace from a regular segmented bowl. I love it!
Thank you very much Marcia. Staves give it a totally different look.And staves are lots of fun to do. I made our kids a staved toy chest over 40 years ago. Not turned on the lathe of course but it is a like a barrel laying on it's side. Thanks for watching, Gary
An outstanding bowl Gary both in the precision cutting of the staves from outstanding pieces of wood used for the staves. Meticulous in the way you built the form to the actual turning. You are such a brilliant technician that everything you touch seems to 'turn to gold'. Such a pleasure to watch & listen to you work, it is riveting viewing & the finish you obtained at the end is beyond words. Thank you for sharing your skills with us, Don.
Thank you Don it was a fun project and brings back memories of the tapered stave patterns I built at work. Of course not with such lovely wood and this type of a finish. Happy you enjoyed it. Gary
Thank you very much Gabriel. Using a digital angle finder to set the table saw blade and a few cuts on scrap to confirm the taper was right by measuring the ends I figured I would be real close. But yes they came out just like they did. Always nice when that happens. Thanks for watching. Gary
Beautiful choice of woods. And I was really glad to see that you had provided the angles in response to a previous comment. Can't wait to try it! Very, very nice job Gary.
You made another winner. Making a staved bowl is on my list. My list is getting longer and I am getting older. Thanks for posting this pretty bowl and how to make it.
Awesome! Thank you! Well Don I keep adding to my list everyday. Matter of fact there is a piece of wood sitting on my lathe waiting for me right now! Take care, Gary
Hi Gary, very nice piece, I agree the walnut and jatoba work very well together. Thanks for this, I have not yet done a staved project but I can now see one in my near future. Take care, I’ll be back
Thank you Gord. I am fond of staves. A lot of the larger patterns I made were done with stave construction. Both straight and tapered. Back in those days I used math and a layout to figure the taper. Now I have software which makes things easy. Take care, Gary
Well done. I do have a question for you: you sanded to 400 then applied sealer sealer. My habit is to apply 2 coats of sanding sealer after standing at 150. Then complete the sanding. Do you think the final finish is different between these two methods? Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Jon, I think on some wood it really helps to put some sealer on before the final sanding. Mostly if you have grain that is not sanding all that well. I just did that on the inside of an upcoming video. As far as what the final finish goes I think they end up the same. Hope that helps. Gary
Thanks for this video, Gary. Nice bowl. Of course I'll have to clean up my scraps now! 😉 I found videos on your abrasive and polishing pastes. Would you mind sharing your friction polish recipes? Or better yet, make a video ? 👍🏼😊 Thx
Thank you I am glad you liked it. The friction polish is very simple. 1 part shellac 1 part denatured alcohol 1 part boiled linseed oil I use the small bathroom size dixie cups filled to the top which each ingredient. I put in something where you can shake it before using. It does separate but a few shakes and it is ready to go.
Thank you Brad, I have made a lot of things using staves. Most were done at work. As a wood pattern maker we used many methods of building things. It helped when building this. Thanks for watching, Gary
Well thank you Michael, it fits in the standard sized head I have "lol" but I sure appreciate your comment. I just love wood turning and creating things. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow Gary, that is amazing!! you weren't lying when you said you made the wife something nice! The wood is beautiful, along with the shape and finish! As always, thanks for sharing with all of us! Always a pleasure! Stay safe!
Thank you so much Bruce I really appreciate your comments. She said Wow as well when I gave it to her so I guess she liked it.The Walnut was perfect for staves. It had a swirling and twisting of colors that are just amazing. It came from some of the wood I bought at a moving sale a few years ago. Thanks again and take care, Gary
Absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic job on the different woods, they are amazing together! The finish is spectacular! Awesome masterpiece!! Great vase? Bravo!
Thank you very much Levis. What I did as a wood pattern maker was all technical and had to be precise. Glad you liked the creative part of this. Take care, Gary
Thanks Christine. I have been thinking of making another with this method but it will not look the same. It is on my list of what I want to do. Glad you like this one. Gary
Thank you very much. There are lots of free online compound angle calculators. Probably some for your cell phone as well. I also use Woodturner Pro which does it and also lets me do design work as well. Take care, Gary
Not only are your videos entertaining, but informative as well: I'd never even heard of, nor ever seen, jatoba. Another flawless work if art, Papa Gary!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Gord I am happy you like it. My first thought was to spray lacquer on it but I think the finish I used helped with the warm look. Nature never fails to amaze me when I find grain like this. Take care my friend, Gary
Beautiful colors and excellent finsh, Gary. Bright accents in walnut makes the bowl very original. This time You was first, my friend. I have in plans to make segmented bowl cutted on this way. As You said, big minds are joined 😊 I'm happy that You showed every step becouse I didn't know few things. Thank You 🤝 Be safe and healthy my friend. Rav
Thank you Rav! I had some spectacular wood to work with.Yes my friend we seem to think alike. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. One thing I know...It will be Great! Take care buddy, Gary
Hi Gary... I love this bowl ... the rich colours in the wood really complement each other... clever segmenting work ... great video... take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Amy, yes it was just something I slapped together and it seem to work. Easy enough to make fine adjustments using the fence. Thanks for watching, Gary
I thought you were going to go with the straight sides, Gary, I liked it that way, too, but the slight profile you gave it looks even better! The staved look itself, is the mark of a craftsman, but the shape and exquisite finish is the mark of a master. So pretty! An anniversary gift? Really enjoyed the video, too! Great job, my friend! Phil
Thank you very much Phil. I was thinking straight sides like a basket but the grain in the walnut led me to the slightly curved shape. Wednesday was our 48th Anniversary so I surprised her with it. That and I cooked a salmon dinner. Glad you liked it my friend. And I promise the next one is piece that nature put together..lol Take care, Gary
Very very beautiful I love the way the word blends in with each other it looks really nice it pops a lot in the way you set your design came out perfect it’s a very beautiful bowl keep doing it I love watching you I think you teach me more and more every time and God bless you
Hi Gary, That is gorgeous, the colours work so well together and the finish is fantastic. I have never seen that process before so I will watch again, on Sunday, to try and work out the angles for the taper on the staves. I'm sure the recipient will cherish it for many years to come. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Glad you enjoyed it Huw. Yes the finish stays just fine. You are really putting on a Shellac finish with the friction polish. It is a form of doing a french polish. Take care my friend, Gary
Beautiful piece and the two woods go together to compliment it. I have difficulties with stave calculations but you make it look easy. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Kent! You can find lots of compound miter calculators online that will help. Years ago I had to figure them out making a 2D layout which worked but much easier today. Thanks for watching, Gary
Glad you enjoyed it Billy! I thought for a long time if I wanted a stark contrast or something more subtle that allowed the wood to merge together yet still be separate. The way the Walnut pieces did it on their own really made it work. It was an amazing piece of Walnut for sure. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Thank you Chuck! The sanding sealer was Minwax lacquer thinned with lacquer thinner. I used 5 coats because I wanted an actual build up on the wood to help fill in the grain and get a more level finish. I use the abrasive paste to polish all of that out. This gives the final finish a good base to lay down on. If I spray on lacquer I always finish with abrasive paste and polishing paste. Hope that all makes sense. This is just what works for me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary thank you for sending me a link to that video. That is a beautiful, staved bowl. Even though I am carpenter I would have to sit down and do some figuring to make those cuts.

Thanks so much Arthur. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,

ThePapa1947 Thx so much. I'll give that a try. Perhaps a marble or a stainless nut in the squirt bottle would work nicely.
Doesn't even need that. The liquid mixes easily but sure wouldn't hurt.
Excellent blend of two beautiful woods and choice of shaping. Another masterpiece, one she should treasure for years to come.
Thank you for the wonderful comment Valerie!

That is absolutely gorgeous, Gary! It’s got a beautiful, warm glow! Great job, my friend! Great video!
Thank you Gord I am happy you like it. My first thought was to spray lacquer on it but I think the finish I used helped with the warm look.
Nature never fails to amaze me when I find grain like this.
Take care my friend,

Thank you very much Phil. I was thinking straight sides like a basket but the grain in the walnut led me to the slightly curved shape.
Wednesday was our 48th Anniversary so I surprised her with it. That and I cooked a salmon dinner.
Glad you liked it my friend. And I promise the next one is piece that nature put together..lol
Take care,

Hi Gary, That is gorgeous, the colours work so well together and the finish is fantastic. I have never seen that process before so I will watch again, on Sunday, to try and work out the angles for the taper on the staves. I'm sure the recipient will cherish it for many years to come. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Glad you enjoyed it Huw. Yes the finish stays just fine.
You are really putting on a Shellac finish with the friction polish. It is a form of doing a french polish.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Beautiful piece and the two woods go together to
compliment it. I have difficulties with stave calculations but you make it look
easy. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Kent! You can find lots of compound miter calculators online that will help.
Years ago I had to figure them out making a 2D layout which worked but much easier today.
Thanks for watching,
Gary

Gary
wow,thanks,BM.aka,woodbutcher
Thank you BM I appreciate your comment.
Gary
Lovely piece, Gary! The contrast of the different species and angled staves really sets this piece off. And the finish is mice too, as always.
Billy
Glad you enjoyed it Billy! I thought for a long time if I wanted a stark contrast or something more subtle that allowed the wood to merge together yet still be separate. The way the Walnut pieces did it on their own really made it work. It was an amazing piece of Walnut for sure.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Stunning piece
Thank you very much Chris!

What sanding sealer did you use? Why 5 coats of sealer before you used sanding paste?, Yes, it’s beautiful, thanks,Chuck
Thank you Chuck! The sanding sealer was Minwax lacquer thinned with lacquer thinner.
I used 5 coats because I wanted an actual build up on the wood to help fill in the grain and get a more level finish.
I use the abrasive paste to polish all of that out. This gives the final finish a good base to lay down on.
If I spray on lacquer I always finish with abrasive paste and polishing paste.
Hope that all makes sense. This is just what works for me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
