Nice work. I have done some segmented bowls. I still struggle with the settings on the sled to get the angles right. I lot of trial and error getting the set up right.

those look way too complicated fot my feeble little mind, very nice work, the math looks like it was quite a challange
I am always amazed when I see these sort of turnings. I have yet to try a segmented bowl let alone an open segmented hollow form. Very well done! The first one looks like a tremendous amount of work, but something about the slightly simpler second lidded one really appeals to me.

Here is a link to one of many segmented design programs. This one requires purchasing, but it does all the calculations you would ever need.
http://www.turnedwood.com/software.html
Just do a Google search for segmented bowl design and you will be given several ideas. Here is a link to the design for an angle cutting sled. It appears to allow the cutting of many different angles and makes cutting them accurate (a must have) and fairly easy to do. http://www.segmentedturning.com/plans.htm. Be sure to look at their home page for an index of many other excellent write-ups. http://www.segmentedturning.com/index.
Hope this helps some of you out if you decide to work on one of these rather intricate projects.

Thanks for the link to the sled...another project for me. The segmented stuff is a good way to get rid of scrap wood with style), as are pens.

Those are amazing. I've only had my lathe for about a month now. I'm still learning the intracies of segmented pen making. OK, I've only made about 10 pens, 2 of which I tried putting in small bands of different wood. Boy, do I ever have a lot to learn. But once I get that mastered I eventually want to try segmented bowls and vases. Of course I probably need to learn how to make regular bowls and vases first. All of that should keep me off the streets and out of mischief for a while.

Bravo,
I really like the candle pot thing. I'm going to be getting some bamboo that's almost an inch thick at the walls. I hope I can do it some justice, as you did. Ever since Gilligan's island, I've wanted to make a set of cups from bamboo. Now I can go one step farther and turn it.
I'll even (for the first time ever) reveal my supplier, since I'm not planning to sell blanks from the material. It's NCWoods. He's on ebay, but he also has a web site.
