ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. This was such a jaw dropping turning from start to finish. You have incredible SKILL and KNOWLEDGE. It was like watching the birth of a masterpiece. You showed so many tricks and techniques and for that I THANK YOU so much. How anyone could give it a thumbs down is beyond me???? Jealousy I suppose. Regardless, it turned out AMAZING. 👍.

Well Mr. B all I can say is thank very much for those kind words. I truly appreciate them. The fact that you like it is enough to keep me making things like this. Thanks again Gary
Well coming soon I will be using some boards I glued together in 1963 shop class. I made a two shelf stand. The metal part is gone but I kept the walnut boards. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
Thank you very much. Happy you are looking at the older ones. I will admit my very first the video quality was not the best but I upgraded the camera and learned a lot more on making videos. Thanks for watching. Gary
Thank you Huw, and it is another large one I am trying to figure out place to put it. I may make a shelf for these large ones and have them standing up. Hwyl, Gary
Thank you very much. Using the router bit would make it a bit more complex but it could be done. I have done more tapered staves than you can imagine as a wood pattern maker. I trust the joint just fine. Not saying you have a bad idea at all. And appreciate your input. Thanks for watching, Gary
I live in Oregon and not that far the the Tillamook Forest. Which we have spent years camping in and used to do a lot of motorcycle riding on our dirt bikes. We do have a lot of trees where we live as well. Take care buddy, Gary
@@woodturningartbyhabeebasad1020 no that one is almost down to Californian. I am not that far from Washington. There are a few casino's west of me that are close.
Know I'm late to the party. But wow man . You just blow my mind every time. I have watched this one like three times . Each time saying to myself I'll try it than .nope just cant rap my head around where to start what angels all that is way to much for little old me maybe in a few more decades I'll get there no Probly not . WOW well as I always say you keep turning and I'll keep learning. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much. This is one of my favorites. The angles were very tricky for sure. Pretty much. Had to build it on the fly. But that is what I enjoy. Thanks for watching. Gary
Gary. I’m so impressed all the time with your beautiful turnings. You must spend some time figuring out what to make and what woods to use. Could you send me a drawing of the small miter sled you have made. That is a big part of this turning and I have noticed you have used it before. Thank You for your turning and hope you will be turning for years
Hi Dave, Are you talking about a sled used in this video? If so could you point out at what point in the video I used it. Or if it is in another video do the same. It has been awhile since I made this video. If I have the information on the sled I would be happy to share it. Gary
This is my first time to your channel. It is a beautiful bowl. Congrats on over 40 years of marriage. This year I hit 20 years. Looks like I need to make her something and then keep a piece of the wood for forty years. Maybe you found the answer to a long healthy marriage.
Thank you very much I am pleased that you like the bowl. We have been married for 46 years and I give her a lot of credit for putting up with me. But as they say it takes 2. Thanks again for watching and subscribing. I have some more interesting things to upload. Interesting to me anyway. Gary
Thank you Ronnie, I do enjoy this type of turning but I also enjoy just turning a chunk of a tree. And I have a good stack of that waiting to be turned. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
Thank you very much Carol. The Walnut and the Pecan I had for awhile. I think the Walnut was the most spectacular piece that I had on hand. I have been hoarding it as well as the Pecan but not nearly as long. Thank you for watching and commenting. Gary
Gary, another simply beautiful piece. Having just recently subscribed, I’m looking to see if you have posted something on cutting the staves, and then cutting the angles on each side of the staves. Kind regards, and thanks for sharing!
Thank you Dale. I have done a number of videos using staves. You can check these out and it might be what you are looking for. ruclips.net/video/R4T1B--E8gw/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 ruclips.net/video/tVs4U53_fF0/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 ruclips.net/video/SMV-o53sjnI/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Donald it was lots of fun to do. Only thing I can think of is I need to make some of these smaller. Running out of places to put them..lol Gary
Gary. The sled I was referring to is in the video Woodturning A Segmented Bowl with Staves. You are making a bowl out of walnut and pecan. I really appreciate you making a drawing and measurements of your sled. Thank You
I will see if I still have that sled. I make mods as needed. Either way I will have something that will do it Might be a few days as we are getting ready for another short get- away. Gary
I just watched the video as it is over 4 years old to see what I did use. I used a standard wedgie sled and adjusted the rails to get the angle needed for the joints. Plus I have the blade tilted for a compound angle. If you do not have a wedgie sled got to segeasy.com and you can get the plans free to make one. If you would like the cutting list and the angles of the cuts email me and I do have those. You can find my email in my About Page. Gary
Well thank you very much I really appreciate you comments. I love doing segmented work but also am very hooked on turning something from a natural piece of wood. So I am trying to mix it up. More coming so feel free to subscribe and follow along. Thank you again for watching and commenting. Gary
Hi Gary awesome bowl and video, in another video you were saying a stave bowl is harder to make and I can see that but the outcome is just beautiful. I see you have the Rikon 14” bandsaw I know Phil bought one and that’s the one I’m looking at getting. I have a General 15” and have had it for many years. It’s a great saw but has limitations mainly the 6”resaw. Any thanks so sharing the video Gary. Cheers Mark
Thank you Mark. Yes I like the Rikon I have. Phil got the newer model with the easy adjust blade guides. What I like about it is the larger bearings. I can buy a kit to upgrade mine but I paid $300 for mine at a garage sale and it was like new. So spending over $150 for the upgrade is more than I want for the EZ adjustments. Both pattern shops I work at had General band saws. They were really nice saws and ours would cut about 12 inches high as I recall. We also had a 36 inch bandsaw that cut about 18" thick. It was a big cast iron model. I think you would be very happy with a Rikon. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I will be going back and viewing your past projects. BTW - if I had a channel, the number at the end would be 1949 for me.
Thank you so much William I make these videos for fun and it is very rewarding to me knowing I have viewers who enjoy my work enough to subscribe. I could make fib up about the 1947 meaning that was the year of my first car. Well actually my first car was a 1947 Dodge coupe. But 1947 was the year I was born. As a matter of fact tomorrow is my Birthday. And 1949 was a very good year also. Thanks again, Gary
That is a very great looking bowl. I must say it is extremely different from any I have seen done in the past but it turned out beautifully, and with so much less waste. I am impressed and glad to see other options for doing similar things.
Thank you very much Tim, I like all forms of wood turning. I am have been doing a lot of natural turnings but I still enjoy segments and other forms of glue ups. I am working on another type of glued up turning but it will be a few weeks before I finish it. Lot of time letting gluing each stage. Mostly waiting for the glue to dry. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 hey Gary, this was/is me I have seen this project but am now watching it again. I repeat my original thoughts this is a beautiful piece, I bet your wife loves it as mine did the one I did.
I like segmenting bowls. So I like what you did. I did not like the awful sound that would happen when you would speed up the video. The only suggestion I have is to delete the sound when speeding up the video. thanks for sharing your work. Your final piece was very nice.
Thank you Larry, that is an older video and I think I have addressed those sounds since then. As a matter of fact i purchased a much better camera as well. I appreciate you pointing it out as I am striving to make the best I can. Thanks for watching, Gary
Stunning piece, Gary! Like Kyler said, the choice of contrasting woods is spot on. Easily understood presentation and who doesn't love a lacquer finish? Okay, so some may not, but I'm not one of them. As you have seen, I use it often. Billy
Thank you so much Billy. I truly appreciate your comments. For sure I can see you like lacquer as well. All I know is the first time I used and smelled lacquer I was hooked. Let me do the math...ok so I don't want to do the math but I first used it in high school shop class. Oh shoot just do the math using my RUclips name. Same product as I first used in high school....Deft. I buy it by the gallon except for a few spray cans now and then. I am working on something now where I am using it as a friction polish and its working good. You will see it in an upcoming video. But I need to chose one of the natural edge turnings I have ready to upload first. Thanks Billy, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary, I made a lacquer based friction polish about 13 years ago using Russ Fairfield's formula. It was okay, but I was turning mainly pens back then and like any friction polish, not a good, lasting finish for things that are handled regularly. Haven't thought about trying it for bowls... don't know why. So I'm anxious to see how yours turns out. Billy
Rod thank you so much for your comments and your support. I enjoy all kinds of turning and it is hard for me to choose what to do. I have been thinking I wish the Army had chosen to use Semper Fi also. Anyway Semper Fi brother, Gary
Thank you very much. I like both segmented and natural turnings. Lately I have been doing more turnings from pieces of logs and I really enjoy that as well. Check out my last video that might be more of what you like. Its a Madrone piece I call The Burnt Burl. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Gary
Not everyone wants me to spend the time explaining those types of details but if anyone every asked for the angles I am happy to give them that information.
Hey Papa 1947, ❤Beautiful craftsmanship! I love that you work with the piece and decide certain aspects as you go, that is truly artistic. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Beautiful piece of art. Would really like to know the angles you used to make this piece. I'm learning how to segment turn and your videos are helping me more than any I've found. Thanks for teaching Stanley Langford
I have been looking for a bowl for my sister in law and this bowl might be a good idea. She wants a bowl with a cross inlaid in the bottom of the bowl. You did such a nice job on this bowl. I am hoping I can do half as good as you.
That is an awesome looking segmented bowl I hope maybe one day I will learn the skills to make something half as pretty but on the upside I do still have a Christmas table cloth without a big hole in the middle
Thank you very much. I plan on doing a much simpler version of this bowl. It will be a good one to try and the look will still be there. I like turning all styles of bowls. If you have the desire I am sure you can get there. Thank you for watching and commenting. Gary
Hi I have been watching your channel I see you are very creative and I really want to be like you I would like to ask for all the parameters to set the size to cut and do as you want please help me
Good morning. I did this turning back in 2018 and not sure I have the information but if you tell me what you are trying to make I can give you the angles for the cuts to make the staves. But these dimensions will make something very close to what I did back then. This is for 8 segments and here are the angles. The width you cut and the length will determine the overall size you make. Miter angle 18.33 Blade tilt: 13.27 This will make a slope of 53.13 degrees A 5 inch long stave cut 4.37 inches wide a the top will make a 12" diameter bowl. This will get you something very close to what I have made. Hope it helps, Gary
Spectacular piece! I've done some segmented turning using rings of cherry or walnut or both. My wood pieces are small and this allows me to turn a larger bowl on my mini lathe.
Thank you Paul. I have done lots of segment work and really enjoy it. Great way to use costly wood and get a nice sized bowl. This Friday will be a piece made from leftovers from other glue ups. Thanks again Gary
Hi Gary, This bowl came out amazing!Great contrasting woods and finish! I've yet to try a segmented piece but that's why I'm here doing my homework! Thanks for the video,,, Tom
I would need to know exactly what you are looking for. I did give you the information yesterday. That should have been enough to get started. Let me know
A lovely bowl which reminds me, I made a jig to do these types of bowl last year and as of yet not used it , definitely going to have to dig it out after watching your video :) Cheers, Bram
Thank you Bram I am happy it has inspired you to use your jig. It certainly makes it easier. I have done plenty of segment work with out it but this does the trick. Thank you for watching and your compliment I mix segment work with doing natural work and love them both. I am planning doing very unique look soon and will explain the process. Keep watching but it may be in a month. Thanks again, Gary
Wow! Really beautiful piece, Gary! That must have taken days and days to complete but WOW, was it worth it! You did a great job explaining all the steps, too! You are becoming quite the RUclips creator! It's really fun to watch you and your channel, grow. Keep up the good work and keep'em coming! Phil
Phil it took a long time. I think I worked on it over a 3 week period. In between other turnings. Lot of glue up and wait time. It looks like I cut the first strips on 11/11 and took the pictures on 12/7. Good thing I filmed it or I would not have known...duh! I am trying to decide what to turn next. I have a lot of wood to choose from. That is a good thing. Thank you for your great comments Phil. Gary
Yeah, I believe it, Gary. I have tunnel vision and can't seem to work on more that one piece at a time. You are exercising your mind along with your woodworking/woodturning and that's a good thing at your advancing age! LOL!
BwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHahahahaaha! Dang it is a good thing I was drinking something when I read that last line. I busted a gut on that one. My wife had to ask if I was OK. I lied and said oh its nothing. But you are right I always said its important to keep that mind working especially at our old age. Phil you made my day that was hilarious and I loved it. I once kept track of one of my Dizzy bowls because someone I know wanted me to make her one and pay for it. I had over 30 hours in it. Yikes Thanks for the laugh buddy it was great. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I don't sell much anymore but if you're like me Gary, you probably made about 25 cents an hour, right? People, generally, just don't understand how much time and knowledge goes into a project. Glad I could give you a laugh! Phil
Very nicely done. Have you ever done a bowl with inlays. I'd like to see one with Halloween figures using different colors of wood. That would be pretty neat.
Hi Jim, I use WoodturnerPro for this type of thing. What I like it you can make changes on the fly and see if you like what you see. I might be able to find the file for this bowl but will need to search. It was prior to this new computer I have but I should have it. This is a free program that will give you what you want but not being able to see the to see the changes www.blocklayer.com/compoundmiter.aspx Hope this helps, Gary
Ok I just found the old file. Miter Angle 18 deg Blade tilt 13.74 deg If you want the rest of the information give me your email or look up my email in my About Page and I can send you the cutting list. Gary
I love segmented turning but I’m nervous to turning it cause my dad is gonna record it and i dont want the bowl to fly off the lathe to either hit me or him
That is an awesome bowl Gary! The different woods you selected compliment each other really nicely. I've never heard of jutoba(probably spelt it wrong) but it made for a really nice rim to finish it off, and add strength as you said. Building the segments looks quite complicated with all the compound angles. But you explained the process really well and I enjoyed seeing it all come together. Nice job on that large lidded box, nice to have it around for all those years. I've been eyeing up one of those larger Rikon bandsaws for a few years now, mostly for milling turning blanks. The resaw capacity is huge. Also now I'm going to be looking for a digital angle finder because I don't have a good system for setting platform angles yet, short of putting the tool up to the wheel and trying to sight down the side lol I'll tell you this Gary, you could go down to the hardwood supplier, or head out in the woods; either way you would come home with material to craft something amazing lol Another great bowl and video Gary, keep em comin'! Kyler
Thank you so much Kyler your comments mean a lot to me. Jatoba is a very pretty wood. I picked up a piece or 2 at a moving sale. I find some nice wood at moving and estate sales. I like bargains and this piece was. Another nice wood is Jarrah. I purchased a piece at a great wood store called Crosscut. They call themselves The Woodworkers Candy Store. The only thing about the digital angle finder is be sure to slide the platform to the same spot or the tool will hit in a different part of the wheel changing the angle you grind. But a simple mark on the slide bar is all you need. I forgot to mention that. It works great for all angles. Also you need to have your tool at the correct angle to start with. Then take a reading because that angle may not read what you are grinding but it will be consistent. I should make a video explaining all of this. Good project for today. Thanks for the wonderful comments buddy. Gary
ThePapa1947 I think I've seen Eric Anderson (the naked turner - don't worry, he's clothed lol) turn some Jarrah and it really is nice wood with a deep reddish colour, if I remember correctly. Good plan on buying most of the hardwoods from estate sales, it's amazing how much some cost! Maybe it's just Canada but last time I was in a hardwood supplier I was shocked at the prices. But it's fairly justified when you think of the logistics behind the whole process of if getting there, harvest to sale. Thanks for the tips on using the angle finder! That's a very important point about the tool rest being set at the same distance every time. I do the same with my v-arm for my grinding jig. Im sure many would find this information useful as well, so if you ever feel so inclined then a video might be a generous gift to the turning community. Thanks again!
Thank you very much Danyboy. I just checked and the angles are as follows. Miter angle was 18 deg Blade tilt was 13.74 deg At the top it was 4 15/32 wide Bottom was 1 27/32 wide The segment was 4 1/32 long Hope this helps Gary
The miter angle is 18 degrees per side. The blade tilt is 13.74. I used a digital angle finder for the blade tilt. I suggest cutting some scrap wood for a test run before using the good stuff. You can use anything for testing and it doesn't matter if its the same size what you plan on using. You are just testing the angles. I created a 36 degree wedge to be used in my wedgie sled I built. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions. Gary
Hi Gary! me again, I understand that with 8 segments the required cut per stave side is 22.5. BUT! are they also angled to 22.5 to get the rake/bowl shape. Thank you
Hi Tommy, no depending on the angle the sides slope up the joint angle changes. Here is something that might help you see. There are 2 angles to deal with: Blade tilt Side slope So if it was a flat glue up the blade would not be tilted at all and the segment angle would be 22.5 www.delorie.com/wood/compound-cuts.html Let me if this helps. If not I can give you angles to do this. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Wow! You really do read your post! Thanks you so much Gary ,What angle did you do this bowl , in the video? In the past months I have been cutting back some of the fruit trees on my property . Today I cut some huge trunks off one of the cherry trees ,it is at least 70 years old. before I would just burn the stuff! now I want to try something with a lathe and some saws. I also have Lilac and Mirabella (Plum) wood from my trees. So nice to have you to ask my dumb questions! Cheers
@@tommyspeed1434 yes I read everyone of them. So this might help. If not give me your email and I will send images of what is going on. Segment edge length 4.47 inches Segment length 4.03 inches Miter angle 18 degrees Blade tilt 13.74 degrees This will make a 51.65 slope but do not worry about that it just happens.
Fair enough! It is always nice when you can stagger your joints with segments. Also very important that you have good glue joints. Which I did on the staves. When you say clamped do you mean no physical method of holding them together? Just curious of your thoughts on that. Not being critical of your comments at all. You are the first to notice that so I am guessing you have done some segment work yourself. And you do make a good point. I have been using segments for close to 50 years. Some jobs were well over 6 foot in diameter. Thanks for your comment I always enjoy hearing from people that understand what is going on. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 The glue is very high quality these days but had a few bad experience with the glue joint coming apart when no pressure was applied. From that I guess I have a bit of anxiety ... So that I always try to apply a bit of pressure, by any method, including creative ones like hanging bottles of water to apply a bit of pressure when clamping cannot be done :) But anyway, I've done few turnings on the lathe, and not very recent anyway
@@gabrielc6252 I have been using Elmers for a long time. I was a wood pattern maker and we used lots of Elmers and many things I would glue on just by rubbing the parts together and letting them sit. If you clamped them they would move out of position. The wood would break before the glue gave loose. The key is having nice flat joints. On segments today I do use hose clamps to pull the pieces together to get the good joints. But where possible clamping is desirable like you said. Bottles of water sounds like a clever way to get some pressure. Take care, Gary
Trust me it was not an easy decision. It was a special piece of wood and not big enough to make a complete project. Funny thing is I still have a piece of it left I will make sure to use it on something soon. And I think I have the right project for it...lol
ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

What's not to like about this bowl? I think one would be hard pressed to come up with any negatives. A typical Papa masterpiece. Well done again Gary.
Thank you Donald it was lots of fun to do. Only thing I can think of is I need to make some of these smaller. Running out of places to put them..lol
Gary
Gary. The sled I was referring to is in the video Woodturning A Segmented Bowl with Staves. You are making a bowl out of walnut and pecan. I really appreciate you making a drawing and measurements of your sled. Thank You
I will see if I still have that sled. I make mods as needed.
Either way I will have something that will do it
Might be a few days as we are getting ready for another short get- away.
Gary
I just watched the video as it is over 4 years old to see what I did use.
I used a standard wedgie sled and adjusted the rails to get the angle needed for the joints. Plus I have the blade tilted for a compound angle.
If you do not have a wedgie sled got to segeasy.com and you can get the plans free to make one.
If you would like the cutting list and the angles of the cuts email me and I do have those. You can find my email in my About Page.
Gary
Simply awesome!
Well thank you very much I really appreciate you comments. I love doing segmented work but also am very hooked on turning something from a natural piece of wood.
So I am trying to mix it up. More coming so feel free to subscribe and follow along.
Thank you again for watching and commenting.
Gary
Nice job on the bowl though.
Thank you I am happy you liked it.
Gary
Hi Gary awesome bowl and video, in another video you were saying a stave bowl is harder to make and I can see that but the outcome is just beautiful. I see you have the Rikon 14” bandsaw I know Phil bought one and that’s the one I’m looking at getting. I have a General 15” and have had it for many years. It’s a great saw but has limitations mainly the 6”resaw. Any thanks so sharing the video Gary.
Cheers Mark
Thank you Mark. Yes I like the Rikon I have. Phil got the newer model with the easy adjust blade guides. What I like about it is the larger bearings. I can buy a kit to upgrade mine but I paid $300 for mine at a garage sale and it was like new. So spending over $150 for the upgrade is more than I want for the EZ adjustments.
Both pattern shops I work at had General band saws. They were really nice saws and ours would cut about 12 inches high as I recall. We also had a 36 inch bandsaw that cut about 18" thick. It was a big cast iron model.
I think you would be very happy with a Rikon.
Take care,
Gary
I absolutely love this. It is stunning. Too bad you dont sell your work. This would be a great gift for my sister.
Thank you Dina and I was very happy with it and a great place to use the board I saved for so long.
Gary
That is a very beautiful bow you did an awesome job on it
Thank you Robert I appreciate the comment.
Gary
Beautiful bowl. Love the contrasting woods and the grain patterns. The finish really brings it all together.
Thank you very much I am happy you like it.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I will be going back and viewing your past projects. BTW - if I had a channel, the number at the end would be 1949 for me.
Thank you so much William I make these videos for fun and it is very rewarding to me knowing I have viewers who enjoy my work enough to subscribe.
I could make fib up about the 1947 meaning that was the year of my first car. Well actually my first car was a 1947 Dodge coupe. But 1947 was the year I was born. As a matter of fact tomorrow is my Birthday. And 1949 was a very good year also.
Thanks again,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Happy birthday!
Thank you William. Is that what you go by or is it Bill?
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful very beautiful bowl.
~Kevin
Thank you so much Kevin. You made my day. I have to give some credit to the beautiful wood that came from those trees.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Walnut and Pecan are beautiful woods.
That is a very great looking bowl. I must say it is extremely different from any I have seen done in the past but it turned out beautifully, and with so much less waste. I am impressed and glad to see other options for doing similar things.
Thank you very much Tim, I like all forms of wood turning. I am have been doing a lot of natural turnings but I still enjoy segments and other forms of glue ups. I am working on another type of glued up turning but it will be a few weeks before I finish it. Lot of time letting gluing each stage. Mostly waiting for the glue to dry.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 hey Gary, this was/is me I have seen this project but am now watching it again. I repeat my original thoughts this is a beautiful piece, I bet your wife loves it as mine did the one I did.
Ahh sorry I forgot you had watched. It is hard to remember the day of the week when your retired. But I am not complaining.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 that's ok, it's was worth watching again.
I like segmenting bowls. So I like what you did. I did not like the awful sound that would happen when you would speed up the video. The only suggestion I have is to delete the sound when speeding up the video. thanks for sharing your work. Your final piece was very nice.
Thank you Larry, that is an older video and I think I have addressed those sounds since then. As a matter of fact i purchased a much better camera as well. I appreciate you pointing it out as I am striving to make the best I can.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Stunning piece, Gary! Like Kyler said, the choice of contrasting woods is spot on. Easily understood presentation and who doesn't love a lacquer finish? Okay, so some may not, but I'm not one of them. As you have seen, I use it often.
Billy
Thank you so much Billy. I truly appreciate your comments. For sure I can see you like lacquer as well.
All I know is the first time I used and smelled lacquer I was hooked. Let me do the math...ok so I don't want to do the math but I first used it in high school shop class. Oh shoot just do the math using my RUclips name.
Same product as I first used in high school....Deft. I buy it by the gallon except for a few spray cans now and then.
I am working on something now where I am using it as a friction polish and its working good. You will see it in an upcoming video. But I need to chose one of the natural edge turnings I have ready to upload first.
Thanks Billy,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary, I made a lacquer based friction polish about 13 years ago using Russ Fairfield's formula. It was okay, but I was turning mainly pens back then and like any friction polish, not a good, lasting finish for things that are handled regularly. Haven't thought about trying it for bowls... don't know why. So I'm anxious to see how yours turns out.
Billy
Gary, that is so beautiful! Very nicely done and explained! 👍
Rod thank you so much for your comments and your support. I enjoy all kinds of turning and it is hard for me to choose what to do.
I have been thinking I wish the Army had chosen to use Semper Fi also.
Anyway Semper Fi brother,
Gary
That is one beautiful bowl. I’m not into segmented turning but I truly enjoyed how you did it. Real craftsmanship.
Thank you very much. I like both segmented and natural turnings. Lately I have been doing more turnings from pieces of logs and I really enjoy that as well.
Check out my last video that might be more of what you like. Its a Madrone piece I call The Burnt Burl.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
Gary
Would be great if you can explain how to determine the miter angles
Not everyone wants me to spend the time explaining those types of details but if anyone every asked for the angles I am happy to give them that information.
Very nicely done Sir. Great choice of woods and the finish you chose really brings out the beauty of the wood.
Thank you very much Wes I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Awsome bowl Gary. Excellent workmanship as usual.
Jim thank you very much. Happy you liked it. Thanks for watching and your comments.
Gary
Gary wow it is another stunning bowl I love it, the combination of the the different woods is amazing.
Thank you Kobie. It was a lot of fun to make.
Thank you again for your support.

I got pecan / oak for segment cuts woods let check them out tomorrow
Perfect Mario looking forward to hearing how it goes.
Gary
Hey Papa 1947, ❤Beautiful craftsmanship! I love that you work with the piece and decide certain aspects as you go, that is truly artistic. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Hi Diane, I am very happy you stubbled on my channel and very happy you enjoy it.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Sweet!
Thank you very much.
Beautiful piece of art. Would really like to know the angles you used to make this piece. I'm learning how to segment turn and your videos are helping me more than any I've found.
Thanks for teaching
Stanley Langford
Thank you very much.
The miter angle was 18 degrees
The blade tilt was 13.74 degrees
This gives it a 51.65 degree slope
Hope that helps,
Gary
BEATIFULL! BONITO!
Thank you very much.
Gary
That bowl/box you made your wife is gorgeous
Thanks and I have made a number of turned boxes for her.
I have been looking for a bowl for my sister in law and this bowl might be a good idea. She wants a bowl with a cross inlaid in the bottom of the bowl. You did such a nice job on this bowl. I am hoping I can do half as good as you.
Thank you Don and I will be showing a bowl I just finished that has a lot of inlay work in it.
Should be this Friday.
Thanks again,
Gary
Awesome looking bowl. I like the stave idea. Maybe you could a video on the chuck you built to finish off the bottom.
Thank you George glad you like it.
I will be using the chuck again soon. I can talk more about it then.
Thanks for the idea.
Gary
What an excellent job you made of this bowl, love it. Ron in the UK
Thank you Ron I really appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
That is an awesome looking segmented bowl I hope maybe one day I will learn the skills to make something half as pretty but on the upside I do still have a Christmas table cloth without a big hole in the middle
Thank you very much. I plan on doing a much simpler version of this bowl. It will be a good one to try and the look will still be there. I like turning all styles of bowls. If you have the desire I am sure you can get there.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Gary
Absolutely incredible Gary!!! Peace, Paigr6
Thank you very much Paige,
Peace be with you,
Gary
Hi I have been watching your channel I see you are very creative and I really want to be like you I would like to ask for all the parameters to set the size to cut and do as you want please help me
Good morning. I did this turning back in 2018 and not sure I have the information but if you tell me what you are trying to make I can give you the angles for the cuts to make the staves.
But these dimensions will make something very close to what I did back then.
This is for 8 segments and here are the angles.
The width you cut and the length will determine the overall size you make.
Miter angle 18.33
Blade tilt: 13.27
This will make a slope of 53.13 degrees
A 5 inch long stave cut 4.37 inches wide a the top will make a 12" diameter bowl.
This will get you something very close to what I have made.
Hope it helps,
Gary
Spectacular piece! I've done some segmented turning using rings of cherry or walnut or both. My wood pieces are small and this allows me to turn a larger bowl on my mini lathe.
Thank you Paul. I have done lots of segment work and really enjoy it. Great way to use costly wood and get a nice sized bowl.
This Friday will be a piece made from leftovers from other glue ups.
Thanks again
Gary
I like to make this segmented bowls for fruits , but kinda wonder if it supports d fruit weight otherwise it may split in half?
I doubt if it would split in half.
I like it. You did a great job on it. It looks great.
Felix thank your very much I appreciate you comment.

Hi Gary,
This bowl came out amazing!Great contrasting woods and finish!
I've yet to try a segmented piece but that's why I'm here doing my homework!

I would need to know exactly what you are looking for. I did give you the information yesterday.
That should have been enough to get started. Let me know
A lovely bowl which reminds me, I made a jig to do these types of bowl last year and as of yet not used it , definitely going to have to dig it out after watching your video :)
Cheers, Bram
Thank you Bram I am happy it has inspired you to use your jig. It certainly makes it easier. I have done plenty of segment work with out it but this does the trick.
Thank you for watching and your compliment I mix segment work with doing natural work and love them both.
I am planning doing very unique look soon and will explain the process. Keep watching but it may be in a month.
Thanks again,

Hello Gary, I will look forward to that!
Take care, Bram
Wow! Really beautiful piece, Gary! That must have taken days and days to complete but WOW, was it worth it! You did a great job explaining all the steps, too!
You are becoming quite the RUclips creator! It's really fun to watch you and your channel, grow. Keep up the good work and keep'em coming!
Phil
Phil it took a long time. I think I worked on it over a 3 week period. In between other turnings. Lot of glue up and wait time.
It looks like I cut the first strips on 11/11 and took the pictures on 12/7. Good thing I filmed it or I would not have known...duh!
I am trying to decide what to turn next. I have a lot of wood to choose from. That is a good thing.
Thank you for your great comments Phil.
Gary
Yeah, I believe it, Gary. I have tunnel vision and can't seem to work on more that one piece at a time. You are exercising your mind along with your woodworking/woodturning and that's a good thing at your advancing age! LOL!
BwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHahahahaaha! Dang it is a good thing I was drinking something when I read that last line. I busted a gut on that one. My wife had to ask if I was OK.
I lied and said oh its nothing. But you are right I always said its important to keep that mind working especially at our old age.
Phil you made my day that was hilarious and I loved it.
I once kept track of one of my Dizzy bowls because someone I know wanted me to make her one and pay for it. I had over 30 hours in it. Yikes
Thanks for the laugh buddy it was great.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I don't sell much anymore but if you're like me Gary, you probably made about 25 cents an hour, right? People, generally, just don't understand how much time and knowledge goes into a project.
Glad I could give you a laugh!
Phil
Очень красиво. Дай Вам Бог здоровья.
Большое вам спасибо, и да благословит вас Бог.
Very nicely done. Have you ever done a bowl with inlays. I'd like to see one with Halloween figures using different colors of wood. That would be pretty neat.
Thank you and I have not. But I have thought about it. I have a cnc machine that would help with fancy inlays.
Take care,
Gary
You mentioned cutting the pieces in “compound angles.” What were those angles and is there a table of angles you could recommend?
Hi Jim, I use WoodturnerPro for this type of thing. What I like it you can make changes on the fly and see if you like what you see. I might be able to find the file for this bowl but will need to search. It was prior to this new computer I have but I should have it.
This is a free program that will give you what you want but not being able to see the to see the changes
www.blocklayer.com/compoundmiter.aspx
Hope this helps,
Gary
Ok I just found the old file.
Miter Angle 18 deg
Blade tilt 13.74 deg
If you want the rest of the information give me your email or look up my email in my About Page and I can send you the cutting list.
Gary
I love segmented turning but I’m nervous to turning it cause my dad is gonna record it and i dont want the bowl to fly off the lathe to either hit me or him
Just go slow and take your time Chris. You can do it...have faith!
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary, u can share my video if u want to brother. Chris
That is an awesome bowl Gary! The different woods you selected compliment each other really nicely. I've never heard of jutoba(probably spelt it wrong) but it made for a really nice rim to finish it off, and add strength as you said. Building the segments looks quite complicated with all the compound angles. But you explained the process really well and I enjoyed seeing it all come together.
Nice job on that large lidded box, nice to have it around for all those years.
I've been eyeing up one of those larger Rikon bandsaws for a few years now, mostly for milling turning blanks. The resaw capacity is huge. Also now I'm going to be looking for a digital angle finder because I don't have a good system for setting platform angles yet, short of putting the tool up to the wheel and trying to sight down the side lol
I'll tell you this Gary, you could go down to the hardwood supplier, or head out in the woods; either way you would come home with material to craft something amazing lol
Another great bowl and video Gary, keep em comin'!
Kyler
Thank you so much Kyler your comments mean a lot to me. Jatoba is a very pretty wood. I picked up a piece or 2 at a moving sale. I find some nice wood at moving and estate sales. I like bargains and this piece was. Another nice wood is Jarrah. I purchased a piece at a great wood store called Crosscut.
They call themselves The Woodworkers Candy Store.
The only thing about the digital angle finder is be sure to slide the platform to the same spot or the tool will hit in a different part of the wheel changing the angle you grind. But a simple mark on the slide bar is all you need. I forgot to mention that. It works great for all angles. Also you need to have your tool at the correct angle to start with. Then take a reading because that angle may not read what you are grinding but it will be consistent.
I should make a video explaining all of this. Good project for today.
Thanks for the wonderful comments buddy.
Gary
ThePapa1947 I think I've seen Eric Anderson (the naked turner - don't worry, he's clothed lol) turn some Jarrah and it really is nice wood with a deep reddish colour, if I remember correctly. Good plan on buying most of the hardwoods from estate sales, it's amazing how much some cost! Maybe it's just Canada but last time I was in a hardwood supplier I was shocked at the prices. But it's fairly justified when you think of the logistics behind the whole process of if getting there, harvest to sale.
Thanks for the tips on using the angle finder! That's a very important point about the tool rest being set at the same distance every time. I do the same with my v-arm for my grinding jig. Im sure many would find this information useful as well, so if you ever feel so inclined then a video might be a generous gift to the turning community. Thanks again!
Kyler the video is almost done :)
Wow Amazing skill and brilliant technique and extraordinary finished product thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you very much Phillip for your kind words. I am happy you liked it.

hello can you tell me segment cutting angle thank you and your bowls is pretty
Thank you very much Danyboy.
I just checked and the angles are as follows.
Miter angle was 18 deg
Blade tilt was 13.74 deg
At the top it was 4 15/32 wide
Bottom was 1 27/32 wide
The segment was 4 1/32 long
Hope this helps
Gary
Could you give the angle on the staves i would like to try to make one
The miter angle is 18 degrees per side. The blade tilt is 13.74. I used a digital angle finder for the blade tilt. I suggest cutting some scrap wood for a test run before using the good stuff.
You can use anything for testing and it doesn't matter if its the same size what you plan on using. You are just testing the angles.
I created a 36 degree wedge to be used in my wedgie sled I built.
Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

Very nice work,

Hi Gary! me again, I understand that with 8 segments the required cut per stave side is 22.5. BUT! are they also angled to 22.5 to get the rake/bowl shape.
Thank you
Hi Tommy, no depending on the angle the sides slope up the joint angle changes. Here is something that might help you see.
There are 2 angles to deal with:
Blade tilt
Side slope
So if it was a flat glue up the blade would not be tilted at all and the segment angle would be 22.5
www.delorie.com/wood/compound-cuts.html
Let me if this helps. If not I can give you angles to do this.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Wow! You really do read your post! Thanks you so much Gary ,What angle did you do this bowl , in the video? In the past months I have been cutting back some of the fruit trees on my property . Today I cut some huge trunks off one of the cherry trees ,it is at least 70 years old. before I would just burn the stuff! now I want to try something with a lathe and some saws. I also have Lilac and Mirabella (Plum) wood from my trees. So nice to have you to ask my dumb questions! Cheers
@@tommyspeed1434 yes I read everyone of them.
So this might help. If not give me your email and I will send images of what is going on.
Segment edge length 4.47 inches
Segment length 4.03 inches
Miter angle 18 degrees
Blade tilt 13.74 degrees
This will make a 51.65 slope but do not worry about that it just happens.
@@ThePapa1947 where should I leave my email address? thank you so much Gary
@@tommyspeed1434 right here is fine
The first turning it's a bit uneasy for me, because not all joins were clamped and because it does not have a top ring to keep it solid :)
But you did add the ring later :)
Fair enough! It is always nice when you can stagger your joints with segments. Also very important that you have good glue joints. Which I did on the staves.
When you say clamped do you mean no physical method of holding them together? Just curious of your thoughts on that. Not being critical of your comments at all.
You are the first to notice that so I am guessing you have done some segment work yourself. And you do make a good point.
I have been using segments for close to 50 years. Some jobs were well over 6 foot in diameter.
Thanks for your comment I always enjoy hearing from people that understand what is going on.
Gary
Ahh yes indeed I added the top ring. More for looks but I also enjoy the fact it ties thing together not only in looks but in strength.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 The glue is very high quality these days but had a few bad experience with the glue joint coming apart when no pressure was applied. From that I guess I have a bit of anxiety ... So that I always try to apply a bit of pressure, by any method, including creative ones like hanging bottles of water to apply a bit of pressure when clamping cannot be done :) But anyway, I've done few turnings on the lathe, and not very recent anyway
@@gabrielc6252 I have been using Elmers for a long time. I was a wood pattern maker and we used lots of Elmers and many things I would glue on just by rubbing the parts together and letting them sit. If you clamped them they would move out of position. The wood would break before the glue gave loose. The key is having nice flat joints.
On segments today I do use hose clamps to pull the pieces together to get the good joints.
But where possible clamping is desirable like you said.
Bottles of water sounds like a clever way to get some pressure.
Take care,
Gary
it took you forty years to make a frivolous decision?...hope your not in charge of making important ones....lol
Trust me it was not an easy decision. It was a special piece of wood and not big enough to make a complete project.
Funny thing is I still have a piece of it left I will make sure to use it on something soon. And I think I have the right project for it...lol
