Segmented round Thingies & holding jig

[Bob Wemm]

These two were finished today, they are both made from Tasmanian Oak (White) and Brown????wood. sanded to 400 and finished with WOP.
The Zig-zag one is 8.75inches wide and 6inches tall, consists of 273 pieces and is something special, a "One-off" if you like, because in the feature ring there is not only the Zig-zag pattern but a wave as well. Look closely and you will see it.
The Spiral one is 8.5inches wide and 8inches tall, and consists of 122 pieces.

Also the "Holding Jig" that was needed to finish off the bases.

Thank you for looking and I hope you like them.
C & C welcome.

Bob

Well Bob, you have presented to us another of your masterpieces. Thanks for showing it. It is fabulous.

Wow Bob, you are certainly embracing the segmented work, aren't your..???

No wonder why we don't see you that much around here, anymore...! not that I can say much more, I have been myself a little busier lately and putting less time into IAP...!

Accurate mitters are a pain in the posterior, some folks managed to make up jigs on good tablesaws using super fine and high quality blades even then, the jigs for the glue ups are near as "crazy" as the jigs used in the cuts, good type of work for people with a lot of patience, something that, I don't have...!

Keep up with that good work mate, you are doing good...!:wink::biggrin:

Cheers
George

Great job!

those look great. I have segmented vase in the works that I set aside several months ago. This inspires me to get back to it when I get some shop time.

Simply beautiful artwork Bob! I love that jig also.

Beautiful "thingies", Bob !!!

The "wave" that you refer to ... is that a designed-in feature ? ... or does it come about kind of automatically as a result of doing the zig-zag and the grain patterns the way they are ? It's cool !! ... almost like an extra dimension to the vessel.

Those are some very cool looking "Segmented round Thingies", well done. Your skill and patience is remarkable.
I like your "holding jig" ...they come in very handy. I spray the rounded off edges of mine with this stuff instead of the cloth padding. Use at least 3-4 coats. I think you'll like it.
Cheers
Bob

It comes about when you don't cut the exact amount from each side of the segment piece when you cut the angle. It really was an "accident" but like you say, it makes a cool addition to the pattern.

Bob,
Thanks for that, I don't know if we have anything like what you use but I will definitely check it out. It sounds good, and I hate the thought of lumps of rag flapping around at great speed. Although that does add a bit of "Excitement".

Bob.:biggrin:
