Segmented Turning: A Complete Guide

This book thoroughly demystifies one of the most spectacular woodturning techniques. Segmented work consists of numerous small pieces of contrasting timber which are glued together before turning, to produce stunning geometrical or pictorial effects in the finished work. In addition to its visual qualities, it overcomes the problems of wood movement and splitting, and allows the turner to make good use of scraps and offcuts which would otherwise be wasted. Projects described in detail include: Scalloped bowl; Bird house; Star of David bowl; Segmented vase; Alternating-triangle closed form; Geometric bowls; Mountain bowl
