Product Description
You won’t find a more complete and beautifully illustrated introduction to this spectacular woodworking technique. Every instruction and image thoroughly demystifies the art of segmented turning and enables ordinary turners to master advanced skills and produce works with stunning geometrical and pictorial effects. From the initial planning to the final product, and from cutting accurate angles to setting up the tablesaw, every stage receives detailed attention. Wood-workers will soon appreciate how this method can overcome problems of wood movement and splitting, and enable them to use scraps and offcuts that would otherwise go to waste. The projects include mountain bowls and an ornamental birdhouse that’s fun to make.

Segmented Turning Book Review
Good book with good illustrations, but lacking some of the important basics of segmented turnings such as: Choosing a turning tool, which type of turning tool works best for inside and outside cuts, methods of Flatening your rings, turning a vase type structure where you need to build up and turn the inside as you go. Section on building your own cutting sled needs more illustations and pictures...very vague. It's a good start for a subject that has little printed information up to now though.
