Turning a segmented bowl from Mahogany, black walnut and figured maple. The finished bowl is 13.5” wide, and 6” tall (343mm x 152mm). There are a total of 84 segments in this bowl (1/3 each for the 3 woods) plus the bottom layers of maple. It worked on this project sporadically for about 5 months before finally deciding I needed to finish it a few weeks ago. I messed up cutting the segments for a ring back in May and realized I needed to mill up more material to have enough to finish. I was pretty frustrated, so I put it on the back burner for quite a while until recently. I’m super glad I finished this and now that I see the results, I’m definitely going to try some more! I hope you like it! Buy Me A Coffee, help me buy a new lathe!

The wedgie sled source: I used some of these ideas in designing my own sled, and I did use his file for the wedges themselves, with some modifications: @Jer_Schmidt The final design file for sled and wedgies was highly modified by me to fit my needs and my CNC machine. Video that inspired my segment glue up jig: @FranklinWoodWorks2016 I am a relatively new wood turner, so I'm still working on my technique and make plenty of mistakes! All woodworking can be potentially dangerous, so you should not try anything you see me do without instruction. My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I do wear gloves when turning as I have very painful arthritis in my hands and the gloves support my joints. In general, it is not recommended to wear gloves around power tools like this, but this is how I do it. I am very committed to being environmentally responsible and 65% of my shops electricity comes from my home solar panel system. I also transport all the raw logs in my electric vehicle. I rarely pay for wood for turning projects since there is plenty of local wood that I can use that would otherwise end up in the landfill. I enjoy making art from what would otherwise be trash.
