My next creation

[Phill joiner]

Well on my way with my next segmented bowl. All the rings now glued up ready for sandwich glueing. This one is made from oak and poplar. So far so good.

Looking good so far, young man

Getting there now...... Much better now I have the right chuck. I have really cheap chisels which are causing problems. I have to sharpen them every five minutes.
Got the rough shape done. Just need to thin things out a bit now.

Looking great, will look great with a good finish. What do you plan finishing with?

I really like it, strong pattern =D>

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. Measures 210mm round x 85mm high. I finished it with a black stain and fine sanded till the oak went a nice grey colour. Then two pack lacquered it.

=D> =D> well done that man!!!!

I can see this being a 'Marmite' job.

Whilst I the shape is great - STAINING !!!! - what a shame.

Grey's and black/dark colours are very in at the moment so my wife tells me. I have a black kitchen in my house so it was done to complement it really. Tbh I'd have never even thought about staining it black but I was very happy with the results. The photo doesn't really show the full effect of the grey colour on the oak sections. I have another three sectional rings left so I'll turn that next and go with the natural look. Lol
It's very addictive this wood turning.

This one was out of the rings I had left over from the black one and I think it turned out great. Kept it natural this time

Hi Phil
while I like the first bowl, I think the 2nd one looks much better with out the stain, what finish are you using for them?
cheers

Well done.

Great, simple form, letting the segmentation speak for itself and well finished.

Hi,
Just wanted to say that I think they look great!
I'm not a huge fan of segmented stuff or painted / stained usually
but you've kicked my mind back open - I think I actually like the stained
one best.
Best wishes,
Gwyn

Got a bit carried away with this creation. Thought I'd post it as it's such an unusual shape. Any comments are welcome...Good or bad don't worry.

Stunning piece of work... Look forward to seeing more.

They look great, both stained and not.


... and '2 pack lacquer'? Wasn't he an American rapper that got shot?

 

[Phill joiner]

Started my next bowl. Made it really difficult though. Made a nine section ring which will not centre when clamped into a four section chuck (hammer) . So just glued a mounting block on the bottom and centred each ring in the lathe.

I really fancy having a go at the segmented work, they really are good
