Segmented Wood Turning

Segmented woodturning is similar to traditional turning, except that it leaves gaps between each wood segment to create interesting patterns in the finished piece. This book provides step-by-step instructions and color photographs illustrating a basic vase project that can be completed in a weekend. You won't need any special turning equipment or tools other than an easily constructed jig.

Wood selection and preparation, jigs, glue, turning tools, finishes and advanced techniques are all explained and illustrated. Combine various woods and patterns to produce beautiful vases, boxes and sculptural pieces. With practice, you can create truly spectacular work.
