Since I retired and built my woodshop I have had more time to do the things I really enjoy!! Woodturning of all kinds--especially segmented woodturning--are my favorite. Now that spring and summer have arrived I will be spending more time in the shop making shavings and sawdust! Come along for the journey of a retired beginning woodturner. I'd love to have the company!
For the last couple months I have been turning a lot of green wet wood so I figured I'd change it up a little this time! For this video I decided to turn a simple open segmented bowl with the open segment jig I built! Was fun to build and turn and felt good getting back to what I really enjoy.
See video on making the open segment jig: • Making my open segment...
Final dimensions are 10 1/2"dia x 5"h and wall thickness of 5/8". Bowl was made from locally sourced Walnut & Maple and finished with 3 coats of Tried & True Danish Oil
