Segmented woodturning in a Southwestern theme
I have always loved making things and always had a wood
project going. It used to be a furniture projects and now since
2009 I have been doing segmented turning. I start out with a
general size and shape then search for a Native American symbol
or design to anchor the piece. I then designs the rings and there
sizes to complete the entire vessel.
My past experience working for an aerospace manufacture has
aided me in the ability to use precision measuring devices to
accurately cut and measure the segments. I use the grain
matching technique in cutting segments to make a flowing
continuous presentation of grain instead of the choppy gain
pattern presented when cutting segments the economy method.
