Here are three bowls that I finished a few weeks ago. Den Socling sent me some of the Wenge & Red Beech he had left over. Just wanted to show you all what I make with short pieces of wood.

Nice turnings Saw... Is that bottom bowl the Wenge? I thought is was usually darker, with light streaks? What are you finishing those with?

Very nice sawwood, the only thing I can make with small pieces is kindling.

Sweeeeeeeet!!! Amazing, very nice work.

I should have put information on each one. The first one
is Walnut and Maple. The bottom and top are stave pices
and the middle and top ring is maple. The second one is
Ash with a cherry bottom. The last one is splated soft
maple. With segmented turning you just need short pices
to make a bowl. I am working on open segmented bowls
and will post them when done. I have just been turning a
while so i haven't sold ony yet. If any one would like to
supply me with there short pices of wood i could make
you a small bowl in trade.

You got it, Sawwood. ;D Or, Turning wood? 8) check your private mail line.

Sawwood,

I really like your segmented bowls.

Are you useing a 3" face plate or a screw center?

We have been saving Walnut burls for turning. This is one of five pallets. We Anchor sealed all pieces.

Here is a Red Elm bowl I started, it was getting late so I let it sit over night thinking I would finish it the next morning. Wrong, the sapwood rim cracked ??? The only reason I kept it was of the Quartersawn ray that showed up.

OneWithWood · November 13, 2003, 06:14:09 AM

Great work Sawwood! Someday I hope to make the time to get back to turning again. I will need a bunch of practice before I turn out anything as nice os your work

Al, those rays are spectacular! Could you remove the sap wood and save the piece?

MrMoo · November 13, 2003, 06:43:45 AM

Very nice Sawood.

Thanks all for the kind words, ElectricAl; I use a 3"
faceplate on a 10" plywood block. I will be putting
some photos of how i make the segmented bows
soon.

Very nice, that is the "craft" in craftsman.

Patty · November 13, 2003, 01:09:44 PM

Wow sawwood, those are relly impressive!

Your workmanship is beautiful!

If I'd known you had such talents, I would've sent some pieces home with you this summer when you were up visiting.

What sizes do you need?

Patty

Den Socling · November 13, 2003, 02:36:17 PM

When Sawwood showed me what he could do with little pieces of wood, I found these segmented bowls very interesting. I did a search and found lots of people making them. If you look at this site: http://www.woodturns.com/articles/projects/kevin_neelley/frame_miter_segment_bowl.htm
I think you will be even more impressed. These things take a lot of time. Other sites show a lot of math in calculating your finished design. I really want to do it but I doubt that I will ever have the patience, ;)

ElectricAl · November 13, 2003, 04:24:51 PM

OneWithWood,

On this bowl we are done :'(

I turned it green, and as a green bowl drys it distorts. It is egg shaped now and would be difficult to sand the inside if remounted on the lathe. :

I really like the way a green turning distorts as it drys. It adds some character to the piece ;)

But Sawwood has stepped it up a notch on the technical end ;D

I keep going back and looking at his bowls
