So far I've tried 3 segmented bowls... the first was just a series of flat boards glue together that I initially had planned to use for pepper mills blanks, but tried a bowl instead... worked out well and have sold it to a gentleman in the UK.... the other two I actually tried to do segmented rings.... they turned out pretty well, but I still need to work on my joints to get them tighter... I use the hose clamps to hold them together and am having some problems with them not tightening up well or the screw twists the clamp and so far I've ruined about half a dozen...
This first little bowl is 7 inches diameter by 3 1/2 inches high... finish is just buffed with my version of Yorkshire Grit...mineral oil, beeswax and DE. Wife claimed it.
This one I just finished turning yesterday...still need to put a permanent finish on it and sign int.... the bowl is 10" diameter by 4 1/2" high... so far just the abrasive grit polish on it and I still need to sign it. It was supposed to be another inch higher, but the top rim of Birdseye Maple popped off and broke into all it's segments... this same ring jumped out of my cole jaws when I was trying to flatten it and skidded across my arm taking a patch of hide about 2" long by 1" wide...
I didn't quite get the shape I was going for, think I need another ring between the maple and yellowheart near the bottom....
This is the first bowl I mentioned... forgot to put up the picture.
This one is about 11 x 3 inches.
