Thank you very much Ed I appreciate your comment. I looked at your channel and saw you 8 year old videos. I have to say you inspire me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks Carol happy you liked it. It was fun to do and came out better than the software showed. The software does not do the wood grain justice. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow, great job choosing the Sapele end grain as a part of this beautiful piece, Gary! The chatoyance just really makes all the difference! Also, as always, such a great job explaining your steps as you worked through cutting and fitting all the pieces, professor! What a beautiful finish you achieved! I really like the classic shape, too! Excellent video, my friend, keep'em coming! 😀 Phil
Thanks Phil Sapele is such a pretty wood. I need to check my favorite hardwood store Crosscut Hardwood(they call it The Woodworkers Candy Store) for some 12/4 Sapele the list. Glad you liked this one my friend. Next week's will be made from real firewood. Hope it works out. Take care buddy! Gary
Beautiful of course. Sammy thinks so too, but he says to make this short because it is time for his lunch. And a real man always makes the cat happy. Haha.
Thanks Michael. Based on the piece of wood I choose for the next one I just may not reach this bar. I will just say it was a meaningful challenge for me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Scott. I just love using Sapele. My stock is running low so might have to make a trip and get some more boards. They list 12/4 so I hope they have some. Thanks for watching, Gary
Beautiful color and lovely shape. I've not done a segmented turning for many months; this will inspire me to do this type of turning again. I hope you are surviving the bomb cyclone without damage.
Hi Gary, Beautiful piece! Sharp tools do make a difference in the final results for sure. Always enjoy your work and techniques, keep the projects turning!
As always your work is the best. I do like the pattern in this work the precision is what impressed me. the small perfect segments. just a beautiful work of art
Thank you very much Paul. I am happy with how it went together. But I am going to work on another system for lining up the rings. Based on how many segments the ring has and how many locators on the longworth chuck there can be a slight adjustment. But all in all it works ok. I just like to tinker with things LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Love the bowl, sapele is very nice wood and your combination with the birch is lovely, reminds me I should do some segmenting, well done and thank you! Cheers Al
Wow ! wow ! Wow Gary ! This piece is just drop dead gorgeous ! And the Shitoyence is just beautiful . You created an awesome piece there Gary . Thanks for sharing . Alway a pleasure to look at . We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead .
Love that pattern on the inside looks kind of like a poinsettia someday I will learn how to cut the pieces to make a segmented turning I really like your cutting jig that is another thing I will have to work on Blessings Gary have a great weekend
Wow Gary! What a great design. We both loved the look on the inside. The shape and finish are quite spectacular! The mind (mine anyway) boggles at how you get there, but the result is outstanding. 👏👏 Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Well in the begining it is as clear as can be. After I have all the rings cut and glued I start to wonder LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Dave. I just started using it a few years back. Sure glad I looked into it. The Sapele all along makes a wonderful segmented turning as well. I need to check and see it they have it in 8/4 as well. I would love to turn a shallow bowl out of a plank. Ahh I just checked. They have 4/4 6/4 and 12/4 Guess I need to take a trip to CrossCut Hardwoods soon. Thanks for watching, Gary
You're right, the inside was a nice surprise- I was not expecting the flower that the yellow birch made! The chattoyance of the sapele is also outstanding. Fantastic piece! Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
Thank You Gary.. Your segmented projects (at 7am) wake me up more than coffee, combine the 2 and .... OMG!!!... Beautiful creation Gary. It reminds me of a Navajo Basket. Long ago I saw a TH-cam show on Damascus shot gun barrels from the 1910's? Those craftsmen were so practiced at hammering the barrels that they could write their initials over & over twisting around the barrel. I was thinking how about "ThePapa1947" on one of your bowls in the future????, ha.... Until next time Gary.... TM
Thank you TM. Took me a 4th cup of coffee to wake up this morning. Not so sure I should finish it now LOL. Maybe if I am making one for myself I could do that. I might cheat and use the 4th axis on my mill. Or I could laser engrave it. Hey I never said I was above cheating LOL. Take care, Gary
Another beautiful and perfectly turned segmented bowl. I really like the up and down patter design. You gave me a good idea for my next bowl. Thanks for sharing your videos.
That’s a fine looking bowl 🍚!!! I believe Phil at Shady Acres would really like that you made such a wonderful bowl, but didn’t turn or waste an entire log 🪵 to make it! Well done sir💯👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Kris. Yes when you use a log you do get a lot of shavings. All my shavings get use in our gardens do not all wasted. thanks for watching, Gary
That's a great segmented bowl. The chatoyance of the wood very nice. It has been a while since you did a segmented bowl. This was a nice change of pace. After watching you glue the individual segments, think 'll start calling you the Lord of the Rings.😂 I like it. Very nice, Gary.....er....your Lordship.😅
Thank you John. I need to get caught up enough to be able to slip a segmented turning in. They can take a bit of time because of the glue up. These rings were very interesting. They all had a different stager of woods. Helps to keep this old guy thinking. Thanks for watching, Gary
I really like this one, Gary. I know that I've seen more elaborate patterns, but this one has such a great form and it is done so well in its simplicity that I just find it as interesting as any. I'm done my first three segmented turnings and I will email you some photos at some point. I was interested to learn about the different orientation of wood and the patterns it produced. Certainly with the Wenge we used, there was a very favorite direction and I'll point that out when I email you. I always love your finish.
Thank you Jay. I think the very busy segmented turnings are a work of art when they are done. I have to say they are not my favorite. For me they hide the natural beauty of the wood. Such as what the Sepele in this piece has. But that is just me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you John. I think my favorite is 18 segments per ring. But sometimes based on the design you have to go with what will allow the spacing needed to get the look you are after. Thanks for watching, Gary
I like it, Gary! The way it came together on the inside was special. I'd like to see how those wheels turn inside your head when you think these up lol. Bill
Thanks Lee. Well it is getting colder here. I have a heat source spotted I might want t try out. Slow heating but if I go out early and turn it on it just might do the trick. Gary
Sure happy to see you do a segment turning again. The finished product is really beautiful and I like the pattern. I assume you used segment pro to create the pattern. The use of flat grain was certainly interesting too, especially if you have wood that has special grain features. I feel much more confident doing segment than taking a limb and turning it.
Thank you Norman. I appreciate your kind words. I have more segmented turnings planned, but I have another special project going that is going to take up a lot of time. I used Segment Pro for the design and Segment Pro to get the spacing, or I should say to double-check it. Thanks for watching, Gary
I know a lot of people use 80 tooth. A 60 tooth is good for all the woods I use leaving a very smooth finish as well. I have found on thicker wood that a blade with too many teeth has trouble clearing the saw dust and can tend to burn. I had one years ago and gave up on it.
Great job Gary. I couldn't tell the pattern until you finished the turning. I really like your technique of shaping the inside as you build the height. That makes a lot of sense. Lastly, have you made a video about building your steadyrest? Thanks
Thank you Dick. I was hoping the pattern would not show till the end. Guess it hid pretty good LOL. No I did not make a video on the steady rest. I could draw up some plans but I am sure others have made videos on it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Lovely bowl. It's beena while since I have done any segmented turning. In fact ( haven't done much at all, however, I just started back turning a few few bowls for a lady. She posted where they had a maple tree cut down in their front yard and offered to make a bowl or two for her to remember it by. And it has taken awhile for the moisture content to get low enough to turn it. But now I have a problem where the wood grain is coming apart and and leaving making notches in the rim.
Thank you Harry I appreciate you watching, Not sure what is going on with the bowl you are turning. Is the wood dry now? Is it a nice solid piece with no punky areas? Might be able to tell with a picture. Gary
Thanks John. I used WoodTurner Pro for the design and segment sizes. I then used Segment Pro to get the spacing for the birch segments. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, how are you, I have just watched your new video, I was thinking that the inside of the bowl looks like a white flower, take care and stay safe x
Gary, it’s a wonderful bowl! I like the choice of woods and the design. The inside draws you in. The finish is terrific. Also like the saw blades. Where are those products made?
Really nice Gary, I especially like the segmented turnings. Really nice tip on using the long grain side. How in the heck did you keep the cuttings straight so you glued up the long grain facing the intended direction?
Thanks so much Ian. So I always mark the top of the strip to keep from flipping when cutting. That line stays up when gluing. You can also mark the front edge when cutting. But not needed as long as the other line is up and you keep the cut end towards the saw blade. Thanks for watching, Gary
Really great seeing a segmented turning again. This is super. I think the inside looks better. It appears to be 3 pine cones. Do you always use woods that have approximately the same coefficient of expansion; or, does that even matter when doing segmented turning?
Thank you John. I would say I try and pick wood that is similar in hardness. And that is mostly for the turning and sanding process. With segments being on the smaller size I have not been concerned with expansion of the pieces being different. Thanks for watching, Gary
My understanding you can run Woodturner Pro on a Mac but you have to use another program to simulate Windows or something like that. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Pierre. I cut the strips about 1/16 thick so I could flatten the rings on my disk sander and then turn them down to 1/2 inch thick after they are glued in place. The width of most of the strips were .56 inch. Thanks for watching, Gary
I have a new favorite! As always, Gary, you did not disappoint! And (as always) I have a couple of questions: How do you get your rings lined up so perfectly when you glue them? What is the software you use to help figure out the pattern? I wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings, and hope you have a super lathey week!
Thank you Sue. So I find the center of 4 evenly spaced segments and mark a line on it. Then I line the pencil line up with the glue joint of the ring it is going against. But I rotate around making sure all are line up. I use Woodturner Pro to design the shape. I also have Segment Pro which gave me the print out of the spacing. You can see the spacing in Woodturner Pro but you have to look at a flat view of each ring. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Gary
Hi Pierre, The vertical thickness was about 9/16 inch. The width on most of the the rows was about the same. I put a pencil line on the top of each piece to make sure I got the grain the way I wanted. Hope that helps, Gary
Love the chatoyance. I don't think I have the patience to do a segmented turning. Maybe I'll just try a segmented stripe or two. Any suggestions? Also, did you plane the rings before gluing together?
Thank you Ken. The wood has wonderful grain for sure. You could glue some 2 inch thick pieces of various woods together. Making them maybe 1/2 inch wide. Stagger from the center out and make a mirror of the sides. Then turn a shallow bowl. Or even use 3/4 inch stock instead of 1/2 and you will have less cutting. What I do is flatten them in my press and when dry I have a 14 inch disk sander. I sand one side flat and glue the ring on. I then take it down to size on the lathe and sand that joint. Repeat into all rings are in place. I do not have a drum sander. Mostly because there is not room for one. Thanks for watching, Gary
Beautiful job Gary. Have you ever tried cutting logs into boards the make segments from those? I've always wanted to try but my equipment couldn't handle cutting logs like that.
Thank you very much Gil. As a matter of fact I have some trimmings I have dried from various logs and planned them up for segments. You may see that soon. I am trying to remember but I am sure you sent me a half log and do not recall what type of wood it is? Do you remember this? Gary
That is an incredible bowl. Absolutely Beautiful. What software did you use to design the pattern. I use Woodturner Pro but it does not have the ability to do that.
Thanks Jeff I appreciate your comments. I used Woodturner Pro. It does not show the shape as well as Segment Pro which I used to show the locations of the birch better.

Beautiful of course. Sammy thinks so too, but he says to make this short because it is time for his lunch. And a real man always makes the cat happy. Haha.
Haha...I just replied to your other comment and read this and had to laugh. Just what I was saying 😂🤣😎
Absolutely beautiful!!!!! You are setting the bar awfully high for your next video.
Thanks Michael. Based on the piece of wood I choose for the next one I just may not reach this bar.
I will just say it was a meaningful challenge for me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Good luck and, I'm sure I speak for everyone, we can't wait!!
Beautiful bowl Gary 👍. The chatoyance is outstanding. Like the pattern. A southwest look to it. Thanks for sharing and take care friend 😊.

Beautiful color and lovely shape. I've not done a segmented turning for many months; this will inspire me to do this type of turning again. I hope you are surviving the bomb cyclone without damage.
Thank you Paul. We got lucky I guess and missed the bomb cyclone here.
Have fun when you do your next segmented turning.
Gary
Hi Gary, Beautiful piece! Sharp tools do make a difference in the final results for sure. Always enjoy your work and techniques, keep the projects turning!

Good use of the sapele Gary, I usually don't take that much care but what you did looks great! Thanks again for another interesting video!
Thanks Roger!
Sapele is where I see the most difference.
Some woods look better with the edge grain.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great job and looks very nice.
Thanks William I appreciate you watching,

Love the bowl, sapele is very nice wood and your combination with the birch is lovely, reminds me I should do some segmenting, well done and thank you!
Cheers Al
Thank you Al!
So now that I reminded you and what to hear about it soon LOL
But yes you should do some.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow ! wow ! Wow Gary ! This piece is just drop dead gorgeous ! And the Shitoyence is just beautiful . You created an awesome piece there Gary . Thanks for sharing . Alway a pleasure to look at . We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead .
Thank you very much Jon. Well after 2 1/2 days of heavy rain I can actually see the blue in the sky. Hope it last.
Take care,
Gary
@ThePapa1947 We too are getting a break from this storm . So nice after a long week of storms . Be safe . 😊
Love that pattern on the inside looks kind of like a poinsettia someday I will learn how to cut the pieces to make a segmented turning I really like your cutting jig that is another thing I will have to work on Blessings Gary have a great weekend
Thank you Wade. I am sure you would have no trouble making one of these as well as the sled.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Nice piece, Gary. Cool design.
Thank you Tom I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Really nice design. I think I'm going to have to try one like that.
Thank you Jamie. It is easy enough to do. Have fun!
Gary
Wow Gary! What a great design. We both loved the look on the inside. The shape and finish are quite spectacular! The mind (mine anyway) boggles at how you get there, but the result is outstanding. 👏👏 Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Well in the begining it is as clear as can be. After I have all the rings cut and glued I start to wonder LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great choice of woods Gary. I particularly like the sapele. The few times I've used it the chatoyance has amazed me.
Thank you Dave. I just started using it a few years back. Sure glad I looked into it. The Sapele all along makes a wonderful segmented turning as well.
I need to check and see it they have it in 8/4 as well. I would love to turn a shallow bowl out of a plank.
Ahh I just checked. They have 4/4 6/4 and 12/4
Guess I need to take a trip to CrossCut Hardwoods soon.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great design. Love the results
Thanks Joey I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
That’s really nice Gary! I really enjoy watching your process because eventually I want to do segmented turning.
Thanks Stuart. Well I hope you give it a try. I think you will enjoy it.
Gary
Just beautiful Gary. Segmenting is fun. Thank you for sharing. See you next week. Be good
Thanks Albert I am glad you liked it.
Gary
Thats Beautiful Phil great combination
Thank you Colin I appreciate your comment.
I can understand the mistake but I am still Gary 😎😎
Really love the design of the segments in this bowl, Gary. It turned out beautifully. Thank you for so readily sharing your design know-how with us!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.
Gary
That is beautiful thanks for making your videos. I would love to get into segmented turning all I have is a bandsaw. Again thanks
Thank you very much. With the right blade you can cut segments on a bandsaw. You can make the same type of sled as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Absolutely beautifully done, Gary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Valerie! Happy you liked it.
Gary
You're right, the inside was a nice surprise- I was not expecting the flower that the yellow birch made! The chattoyance of the sapele is also outstanding. Fantastic piece! Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
Thank you Johnny. For sure the inside was a real treat.
Thanks for watching and hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Another beautiful and perfectly turned segmented bowl. I really like the up and down patter design. You gave me a good idea for my next bowl. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks Kent and best of luck in your next bowl.
Take care,
Gary
It’s lovely, especially so as I use sapele and oak. Have a pleasant weekend 🌞
Thank you Ray. I almost used quarter sawed oak in place of the birch.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That’s a fine looking bowl 🍚!!! I believe Phil at Shady Acres would really like that you made such a wonderful bowl, but didn’t turn or waste an entire log 🪵 to make it! Well done sir💯👍🏼🙏🏼

Hi gary l do a lot of segmented turning that is a really nice pattern l normally cùt 12 segments l must tried more in a ring
Thank you John. I think my favorite is 18 segments per ring. But sometimes based on the design you have to go with what will allow the spacing needed to get the look you are after.
Thanks for watching,

I like it, Gary! The way it came together on the inside was special. I'd like to see how those wheels turn inside your head when you think these up lol.
Bill
Thank you Bill. Trust me you do not want to see what is going on inside my head! LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice turning, Gary. You never disappoint. Looks like that blade makes very smooth cuts.
Thank you Qapla I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
That’s beautiful. I’d like to do segments on a bowl sometime, maybe I can practice while it’s still not too cold in the garage.
Thanks Lee. Well it is getting colder here. I have a heat source spotted I might want t try out. Slow heating but if I go out early and turn it on it just might do the trick.
Gary
genius
Thank you Paddy!
Well as usual you did a great job. Gary! I'd love to work with sapele for that chatoyance you got. It's an incredible wood
Thanks Tom it is a very cool wood for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
It's nice solid wood. I will try toget you a couple of pictures. I soaked the o e on the lathe with super glue. Hopefully that will help.
Thanks Harry. Sounds like you got it taken care of,
Gary

Beautiful. I wish you would have made it thin enough to make a lamp shade,
Thanks Khan! Not sure I would use a segmented turning for a lamp shade. But I guess LED's do not put out heat.
Lovely bowl. It's beena while since I have done any segmented turning. In fact ( haven't done much at all, however, I just started back turning a few few bowls for a lady.

Might be able to tell with a picture.
Gary
That's really nice.but I don't have the patience.
Thanks and I understand. Patience is free but comes with years of practice.
Thanks for watching,

What software did you use? Fantastic work!
Thanks John. I used WoodTurner Pro for the design and segment sizes. I then used Segment Pro to get the spacing for the birch segments.
Thanks for watching,

Hi Gary, how are you, I have just watched your new video, I was thinking that the inside of the bowl looks like a white flower, take care and stay safe x
Thank you Sue. For sure it does look like a flower.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting,
Gary
Gary, it’s a wonderful bowl! I like the choice of woods and the design. The inside draws you in. The finish is terrific. Also like the saw blades. Where are those products made?
Thank you Skip glad you liked it.
I would guess they are made in China.
Thanks for watching,

Really nice Gary, I especially like the segmented turnings. Really nice tip on using the long grain side. How in the heck did you keep the cuttings straight so you glued up the long grain facing the intended direction?
Thanks so much Ian.
So I always mark the top of the strip to keep from flipping when cutting.
That line stays up when gluing.
You can also mark the front edge when cutting. But not needed as long as the other line is up and you keep the cut end towards the saw blade.

Really great seeing a segmented turning again. This is super. I think the inside looks better. It appears to be 3 pine cones.
Do you always use woods that have approximately the same coefficient of expansion; or, does that even matter when doing segmented turning?
Thank you John. I would say I try and pick wood that is similar in hardness. And that is mostly for the turning and sanding process.
With segments being on the smaller size I have not been concerned with expansion of the pieces being different.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
1st 🎉🎉😂😂
Time to celebrate!! Feels like party time to me 🎉🎈🎈🥳🥳
I wasn't first.

Very nice. I have a Mac and couldn’t find any programs for segmented turning, only Windows based. Bummer
My understanding you can run Woodturner Pro on a Mac but you have to use another program to simulate Windows or something like that.
Thanks for watching,

Gary an other great vidéo question for you :how trick is the board when cutting your stick pierre
Thank you Pierre. I cut the strips about 1/16 thick so I could flatten the rings on my disk sander and then turn them down to 1/2 inch thick after they are glued in place. The width of most of the strips were .56 inch.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I have a new favorite! As always, Gary, you did not disappoint! And (as always) I have a couple of questions:
How do you get your rings lined up so perfectly when you glue them?
What is the software you use to help figure out the pattern?
I wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings, and hope you have a super lathey week!
Thank you Sue.
So I find the center of 4 evenly spaced segments and mark a line on it. Then I line the pencil line up with the glue joint of the ring it is going against. But I rotate around making sure all are line up.
I use Woodturner Pro to design the shape. I also have Segment Pro which gave me the print out of the spacing.
You can see the spacing in Woodturner Pro but you have to look at a flat view of each ring.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well,
Gary
Gary,what is the thickness of the board to cut the strip? Pierre
Hi Pierre,
The vertical thickness was about 9/16 inch. The width on most of the the rows was about the same. I put a pencil line on the top of each piece to make sure I got the grain the way I wanted.
Hope that helps,
Gary
Love the chatoyance. I don't think I have the patience to do a segmented turning. Maybe I'll just try a segmented stripe or two. Any suggestions?
Also, did you plane the rings before gluing together?
Thank you Ken. The wood has wonderful grain for sure.
You could glue some 2 inch thick pieces of various woods together. Making them maybe 1/2 inch wide. Stagger from the center out and make a mirror of the sides.
Then turn a shallow bowl. Or even use 3/4 inch stock instead of 1/2 and you will have less cutting.
What I do is flatten them in my press and when dry I have a 14 inch disk sander. I sand one side flat and glue the ring on. I then take it down to size on the lathe and sand that joint. Repeat into all rings are in place. I do not have a drum sander. Mostly because there is not room for one.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful job Gary. Have you ever tried cutting logs into boards the make segments from those? I've always wanted to try but my equipment couldn't handle cutting logs like that.
Thank you very much Gil. As a matter of fact I have some trimmings I have dried from various logs and planned them up for segments. You may see that soon.
I am trying to remember but I am sure you sent me a half log and do not recall what type of wood it is? Do you remember this?
Gary
@ThePapa1947 Yes it was from a Linden tree.
The board you are cutting on your table saw what is the tickness
The board is .56 inch thick.
That is an incredible bowl. Absolutely Beautiful. What software did you use to design the pattern. I use Woodturner Pro but it does not have the ability to do that.
Thanks Jeff I appreciate your comments.
I used Woodturner Pro. It does not show the shape as well as Segment Pro which I used to show the locations of the birch better.
@@ThePapa1947 Does it give the printout of the blocks like you showed?
Segmented Pro will give the print out.
Woodturner Pro you can look at each ring and see the spacing.
@@ThePapa1947 Awesome. I’ll check it out. Thank you Gary
What are the sizes of your segments?
Most of the segments are a little over 1/2 inch thick and maybe 9/16 wide. As far as the length goes every row is different.
@@ThePapa1947 thank you
That's why it takes 20 years in Afghanistan without any success: Americans talks endless and too much!!!
Others works during same times.... 😂😂😂
I have no idea what you just said???
The year I spent in the jungles of Vietnam felt like 20 years.
"Ups and Downs?" Boo!
Boo hoo you have hurt my feelings LOL
Beautiful. I wish you would have made it thin enough to make a lamp shade,
Maybe one day!
