Another beautiful and perfectly turned segmented bowl. I really like the up and down patter design. You gave me a good idea for my next bowl. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Love the bowl, sapele is very nice wood and your combination with the birch is lovely, reminds me I should do some segmenting, well done and thank you! Cheers Al
As always your work is the best. I do like the pattern in this work the precision is what impressed me. the small perfect segments. just a beautiful work of art
Thank you very much Paul. I am happy with how it went together. But I am going to work on another system for lining up the rings. Based on how many segments the ring has and how many locators on the longworth chuck there can be a slight adjustment. But all in all it works ok. I just like to tinker with things LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Beautiful color and lovely shape. I've not done a segmented turning for many months; this will inspire me to do this type of turning again. I hope you are surviving the bomb cyclone without damage.
Love that pattern on the inside looks kind of like a poinsettia someday I will learn how to cut the pieces to make a segmented turning I really like your cutting jig that is another thing I will have to work on Blessings Gary have a great weekend
Thank you Dave. I just started using it a few years back. Sure glad I looked into it. The Sapele all along makes a wonderful segmented turning as well. I need to check and see it they have it in 8/4 as well. I would love to turn a shallow bowl out of a plank. Ahh I just checked. They have 4/4 6/4 and 12/4 Guess I need to take a trip to CrossCut Hardwoods soon. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank You Gary.. Your segmented projects (at 7am) wake me up more than coffee, combine the 2 and .... OMG!!!... Beautiful creation Gary. It reminds me of a Navajo Basket. Long ago I saw a RUclips show on Damascus shot gun barrels from the 1910's? Those craftsmen were so practiced at hammering the barrels that they could write their initials over & over twisting around the barrel. I was thinking how about "ThePapa1947" on one of your bowls in the future????, ha.... Until next time Gary.... TM
Thank you TM. Took me a 4th cup of coffee to wake up this morning. Not so sure I should finish it now LOL. Maybe if I am making one for myself I could do that. I might cheat and use the 4th axis on my mill. Or I could laser engrave it. Hey I never said I was above cheating LOL. Take care, Gary
Wow Gary! What a great design. We both loved the look on the inside. The shape and finish are quite spectacular! The mind (mine anyway) boggles at how you get there, but the result is outstanding. 👏👏 Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Well in the begining it is as clear as can be. After I have all the rings cut and glued I start to wonder LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow ! wow ! Wow Gary ! This piece is just drop dead gorgeous ! And the Shitoyence is just beautiful . You created an awesome piece there Gary . Thanks for sharing . Alway a pleasure to look at . We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead .
You're right, the inside was a nice surprise- I was not expecting the flower that the yellow birch made! The chattoyance of the sapele is also outstanding. Fantastic piece! Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
That’s a fine looking bowl 🍚!!! I believe Phil at Shady Acres would really like that you made such a wonderful bowl, but didn’t turn or waste an entire log 🪵 to make it! Well done sir💯👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Kris. Yes when you use a log you do get a lot of shavings. All my shavings get use in our gardens do not all wasted. thanks for watching, Gary
That's a great segmented bowl. The chatoyance of the wood very nice. It has been a while since you did a segmented bowl. This was a nice change of pace. After watching you glue the individual segments, think 'll start calling you the Lord of the Rings.😂 I like it. Very nice, Gary.....er....your Lordship.😅
Thank you John. I need to get caught up enough to be able to slip a segmented turning in. They can take a bit of time because of the glue up. These rings were very interesting. They all had a different stager of woods. Helps to keep this old guy thinking. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you John. I think my favorite is 18 segments per ring. But sometimes based on the design you have to go with what will allow the spacing needed to get the look you are after. Thanks for watching, Gary
I like it, Gary! The way it came together on the inside was special. I'd like to see how those wheels turn inside your head when you think these up lol. Bill
I know a lot of people use 80 tooth. A 60 tooth is good for all the woods I use leaving a very smooth finish as well. I have found on thicker wood that a blade with too many teeth has trouble clearing the saw dust and can tend to burn. I had one years ago and gave up on it.
Sure happy to see you do a segment turning again. The finished product is really beautiful and I like the pattern. I assume you used segment pro to create the pattern. The use of flat grain was certainly interesting too, especially if you have wood that has special grain features. I feel much more confident doing segment than taking a limb and turning it.
Thanks Lee. Well it is getting colder here. I have a heat source spotted I might want t try out. Slow heating but if I go out early and turn it on it just might do the trick. Gary
Great job Gary. I couldn't tell the pattern until you finished the turning. I really like your technique of shaping the inside as you build the height. That makes a lot of sense. Lastly, have you made a video about building your steadyrest? Thanks
Thank you Dick. I was hoping the pattern would not show till the end. Guess it hid pretty good LOL. No I did not make a video on the steady rest. I could draw up some plans but I am sure others have made videos on it. Thanks for watching, Gary
My understanding you can run Woodturner Pro on a Mac but you have to use another program to simulate Windows or something like that. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, how are you, I have just watched your new video, I was thinking that the inside of the bowl looks like a white flower, take care and stay safe x
Beautiful job Gary. Have you ever tried cutting logs into boards the make segments from those? I've always wanted to try but my equipment couldn't handle cutting logs like that.
Thank you very much Gil. As a matter of fact I have some trimmings I have dried from various logs and planned them up for segments. You may see that soon. I am trying to remember but I am sure you sent me a half log and do not recall what type of wood it is? Do you remember this? Gary
Love the chatoyance. I don't think I have the patience to do a segmented turning. Maybe I'll just try a segmented stripe or two. Any suggestions? Also, did you plane the rings before gluing together?
Really great seeing a segmented turning again. This is super. I think the inside looks better. It appears to be 3 pine cones. Do you always use woods that have approximately the same coefficient of expansion; or, does that even matter when doing segmented turning?
Thank you John. I would say I try and pick wood that is similar in hardness. And that is mostly for the turning and sanding process. With segments being on the smaller size I have not been concerned with expansion of the pieces being different. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, it’s a wonderful bowl! I like the choice of woods and the design. The inside draws you in. The finish is terrific. Also like the saw blades. Where are those products made?
Just beautiful Gary. Segmenting is fun. Thank you for sharing. See you next week. Be good
It’s lovely, especially so as I use sapele and oak. Have a pleasant weekend 🌞
Another way cool bowl, thanks, Gary.
Beautiful sir! You inspire me every time. Thank you.

Gary that turned out fantastic buddy well done.
Beautiful bowl with a southwest flavor. That chatoyance is outstanding! Your design really ended up nice, especially in the inside!

Thank you Paul. We got lucky I guess and missed the bomb cyclone here.
Have fun when you do your next segmented turning.

Great choice of woods Gary. I particularly like the sapele. The few times I've used it the chatoyance has amazed me.

Really nice design. I think I'm going to have to try one like that.
Thank you Jamie. It is easy enough to do. Have fun!
Gary
Absolutely beautifully done, Gary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Valerie! Happy you liked it.

Nice turning, Gary. You never disappoint. Looks like that blade makes very smooth cuts.

Thank you very much Jon. Well after 2 1/2 days of heavy rain I can actually see the blue in the sky. Hope it last.
Take care,

@ThePapa1947 We too are getting a break from this storm . So nice after a long week of storms . Be safe . 😊
You're right, the inside was a nice surprise- I was not expecting the flower that the yellow birch made! The chattoyance of the sapele is also outstanding. Fantastic piece! Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
Thank you Johnny. For sure the inside was a real treat.
Thanks for watching and hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Gary
lovely
Thanks so much Grammybear!
Gary
That is beautiful thanks for making your videos. I would love to get into segmented turning all I have is a bandsaw. Again thanks
Thank you very much. With the right blade you can cut segments on a bandsaw. You can make the same type of sled as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Muy bonito enorabuena
¡Muchas gracias!

Thanks Gary I appreciate your comments.

Thats Beautiful Phil great combination
Thank you Colin I appreciate your comment.
I can understand the mistake but I am still Gary 😎😎

Hi gary l do a lot of segmented turning that is a really nice pattern l normally cùt 12 segments l must tried more in a ring

I just changed my blade yesterday, 80 tooth makes a huge difference in the cut quality it's about a 220 grit smooth
I know a lot of people use 80 tooth. A 60 tooth is good for all the woods I use leaving a very smooth finish as well. I have found on thicker wood that a blade with too many teeth has trouble clearing the saw dust and can tend to burn. I had one years ago and gave up on it.

The use of flat grain was certainly interesting too, especially if you have wood that has special grain features. I feel much more confident doing segment than taking a limb and turning it.
That’s beautiful. I’d like to do segments on a bowl sometime, maybe I can practice while it’s still not too cold in the garage.
Thanks Lee. Well it is getting colder here. I have a heat source spotted I might want t try out. Slow heating but if I go out early and turn it on it just might do the trick.
Gary
Well as usual you did a great job. Gary! I'd love to work with sapele for that chatoyance you got. It's an incredible wood
Thanks Tom it is a very cool wood for sure.
Thanks for watching,

Gary an other great vidéo question for you :how trick is the board when cutting your stick pierre
Very nice. I have a Mac and couldn’t find any programs for segmented turning, only Windows based. Bummer
My understanding you can run Woodturner Pro on a Mac but you have to use another program to simulate Windows or something like that.

I would guess they are made in China.
Thanks for watching,

What software did you use? Fantastic work!
1st 🎉🎉😂😂
Time to celebrate!! Feels like party time to me 🎉🎈🎈🥳🥳
I wasn't first.
That's why it takes 20 years in Afghanistan without any success: Americans talks endless and too much!!!
Others works during same times.... 😂😂😂
I have no idea what you just said???
The year I spent in the jungles of Vietnam felt like 20 years.
"Ups and Downs?" Boo!
Boo hoo you have hurt my feelings LOL
