Great job. I was also worried the first time I turned a segmented bowl. That really hit home when turning the inside with all of the edges and trying to not dig in too deep with the tool. I suggest turning one just using padauk wood. It is really rich looking after adding the finish.
I like your choices of wood 🪵 it's going to be really cool. And also as a suggestion on something like you got there I'm suggesting maybe using the EZ-WOOD TOOLS 🔧 only because they are Carbide. I use the EZ-WOOD Carbide for making pens 🖊 mainly because I don't have the blow out like high speed steel. I hope this will be of help for the next project.
A piece of advice. Do your glue up of your rings to each other on the lathe. That way you can throw away your dumb bell and use pressure from the tail stock as your clamp, and you can glue up about half the rings and then go ahead and turn the inside of them that way your tool rest reaches to the bottom then add the rest of the rings. Also you need a steady rest
@@jbwoodworkingofficial for sure, went through the same thought process. There some good homemade ones with videos on TH-cam. I may copy one of those, save myself 150 bucks. None the less, great job dude
Looks like I cut out the part of that video where I did that. I just used my parting tool to turn a groove in the pine just below the walnut and then used a saw to finish it off. It did take a bit of sanding to clean it up but it looks good.
If you have a set of cole jaws for a chuck you can just turn the bowl around and turn it off, also I hate to give un solicited advice, but if you turn the inside of the bottom of the bowl first, then glue the top and bottom together to finish would make it much easier to turn the bottom
Thats a great question. I basically made each layer 1/2" larger than the previous layer so 4", 4.5", 5" etc.. I went online and found a segment calculator that told me how large each segment should be for each ring. Later on I found a program called WoodTurnerPro that is really nice, you can print off a cut sheet after you design the bowl in the program and it will tell you how many pieces of each species of wood you need and the length along with the angle of each cut. It takes the mystery out of figuring this all out. I'm still learning to so it's really helpful.
Awesome , great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work JB 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Love the choice of wood! Turned out very pretty!
Thanks so much! 😊
Nicely balanced.

I’m just making one like this, my first too. I love turning it because all the cuts when turning are along the grain, no or little end grain.
Nice, send me a picture when it’s done!
This was really cool idea and I love the outcome 👏👏
Gorgeous.
Thank you! Cheers!
I often do things I don’t record because it is better off not on record anywhere…lol…nice turn!
Well I'm about to have my first try next week and TBH I hope it turns out as good as that !!!
It’s one of my favorite pieces.
I've turned some segmented pieces,thry turned out ok.
At 13:30, I think many people would prefer to have the opposite camera view - showing the business end of the turning tool.

Yeah steady rest is in my list for sure. I do like the idea of turning the bottom layers and then adding the top layers later
I glue up all my rings on my lathe, keeps them In perfect balance 😊
Very nice
Looks great!
Thanks!
Nicely done.
Thanks, it was a fun build
Good choice on the ascending/descending pattern.
Thanks for your help 😅
I have the same lathe and same issue with chatter... Drives me insane, next purchase or build will be a steady rest. Great job!
Yeah I wasn’t sure if I was doing something wrong or it was just the lathe…. A steady rest is on my list but I’m not sure which one to get…

Very nice! Do you recall the dimensions? Thank you for demonstration.
Just about to do my first. Can I ask how you got the bottom off
Looks like I cut out the part of that video where I did that. I just used my parting tool to turn a groove in the pine just below the walnut and then used a saw to finish it off. It did take a bit of sanding to clean it up but it looks good.

What finish did you use?
How do you know the size of each layer? And what is the difference in each layers segment?
Thats a great question. I basically made each layer 1/2" larger than the previous layer so 4", 4.5", 5" etc.. I went online and found a segment calculator that told me how large each segment should be for each ring.

Nice job. Very nice job. Did you have to adjust the miter saw once purchased to get accurate cuts?
Thanks. The miter fence I bought was extremely accurate. I need to make another segmented bowl, it was a lot of fun to make
where is the top?
First bowl?
You'll get better with design....looks more like a bucket than a bowl.
