When I've made these in the past consisting of four layers, I only segmented the middle two layers. This one, all four layers are segmented. It turned out great. Turning was very easy as there is no end grain to turn. The main wood is Zebra wood with a center accent of walnut and amethyst powder inlay. I'm very happy with segments, they are tight.

have you considered making one then using resin in a groove to cut the threads into ?
Saw this demonstrated many years back by Petter Herod , a very skilful Norwegian turner. He made threaded boxes in soft pine ! Worked a treat .

No I haven't. Cutting threads with a double angle cutter at 2500 rpm's though would probably not play well with resin. Not sure though. Using a thread cutter allows you to make threads in any wood, including pine.

Oops I wrongly assumed you were hand thread chasing . No the resin probably wouldn't cope well to the heat of high speed cutting . The advantage of resin threads is the strength of the resin and "chip resistance " of it.
Thread. chasing , as opposed to cutting , needs hard stable wood . I've used Boxwood , African blackwood and Holly successfully .
thanks for info

Very nice and precise angles cut in the segments. Do you have any kind of jig for cutting angles?
I made a wedgie sled.
