Of course I like the bowl! Of course Ill give a thumbs up! 👍 more than 1 if I could! I cant keep my mouth shut, so, im gonna comment! I would never be able to do one of these segmented pieces, because even though I know that all the angles have to add up to 360 to make them work, it still escapes me how to turn them, do the glue-up have it all come together, AND look AMAZING! Ok. Im just going to let you do them, Ill watch, and everybody's happy! You and Phil....you guys give me my amazement fix every week. Thank you both! 😊❤👍
Thanks so much Dave. The third step I did in this one had be thinking about it all going wrong. But I relay on my drawings to confirm it will work. As long as the all the other steps are right. In case you have not noticed this and coffee keeps me going. Take care, Gary
i agree it is a great way to make something from hard to find wood. So friends of ours had to have a Walnut tree cut down because it was dying and becoming unsafe. They were very happy I took all the wood and am making things from it. The other option was it was going to be firewood. The big chunks I do get to turned are destined to be burned and I feel I am saving them from that. Just my thoughts on it. We have a tree in the back yard full of burls and I would never cut it down just to turn them. Thanks for watching, Gary
I just don't know how you even conceive of these pieces, Gary but I'm glad you do! Your enthusiasm for this piece, from conception, to cutting to assembly and finally to turning and finishing, comes through in abundance! You are a like a kid in a candy store and I love it! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil
Thank you Phil. Well I spend hours of unseen work on my computer working all the details out. By the time I start cutting wood it is in my mind. Now I have to remember what is in there LOL. Seriously when each step works out I do feel great and I am sure it shows. Kind of like when I get an extra scoop of ice-cream. I was coughing and hacking with a cold coming so I think the next few videos will be on the simple side of things. Take care, Gary
A really impressive work. Your ability to resolve problems and to share with others is generous. Once I'm happy with my home referd. Then I'll be back in my 8x11 shed and sort out my 14" band saw, 8x5" planer thicknesser, burnish the round bars on my lathe, check out the exstraction. By that time I will be in a position to see if our extraordinary government has left me sufficient money to buy wood. Fingers crossed and smile. It helps to keep you sane. Thanks again for your generousity. Ron.
Good evening, Gary. I like your setup for holding the rings when you cut them. This project had me smiling all the way. Cut and glue, cut and glue. Excellent outcome and a wonderful design. A very eye catching bowl.
Thanks Ray. Oh yeah lots of cut and glue for sure. I had a lot of fun going from one step to the next. Especially when seeing that things were going the say I wanted. Happy you enjoyed the video! Take care, Gary
Thank You Gary.. After your first cut (the scrap piece) I was wondering if in the future will you combine all into a "crazy quilt" ? ... This was a fun one Gary and the finished piece is wonderful. .. Great ring protecting device ! ... Gary you are so wonderfully honest showing all your techniques/secrets/procedures for your extravagant turnings. I was thinking perhaps just once to show an elaborate finished turning as a "mystery turning" ? Who can guess how ? Than show in the next episode and give us a week to think about it, HA. .. Each time you do one of these I think "how will you top this one" but you always seem to come up with something newer... Until next time ... TM
Thank you TM! I like your idea on the mystery turning. I may have to do that as I find myself with so many things going on it is hard to get the editing done. This would be a brilliant way to do it. Now just to figure out something for that mystery LOL. Take care, Gary
WOW! Need, I say more, Gary? That sure is pretty! Another incredible piece, my friend. You have great ability to go with your incredible imagination! Really enjoyed this one, my friend. Glad to see you having fun in your shop. 😃😃 Take care, …..Gord
Thank you very much Gord. I guess I should watch that video I did not realize all that fun was showing. Phil even brought that up. But for sure I had a lots of fun on this one from the first concept of it to the end. I spent hours tweaking it going from 9 segments to 11 and 12. All of them changed the scalloped edge and some took it away. Next week will be way different but still fun for me. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Another winner, Gary! Good, good on the design. Good, good on the Ack’s carnuba (I love the hardness of carnuba). Good, good on all the points matching at the center. Good, good on the jig demo. So video rating? Good, good of course!! 😜🤣🤪
Thanks for your comments Valerie they were Good, good, good. It is not all that often I even need the points to match on the bottom but as long as your wedgie sled is perfect it is easy to do. I have watched those edges fall off from cutting at the speed you might do for a normal segment. Thanks again for you great comments. Gary
Gary, thanks again for a great video. I look forward to seeing your videos and for good reason…terrific projects, well explained and showing the tools used. Thanks for sharing.
Papa you are one smart dude! I so enjoy watching you work magic. You keep my attention and relax me at the same time. You keep turning, I’ll keep watching😊🎃
Gary, I made your ring cutting fixture using a food grade hard plastic. Made 1 bowl from Poplar but turned into a disaster as I reversed the 45, 55 and 60 degree angles. Discovered what I did incorrectly and next bowl came out spectacular. Thank you for the innovations. Also made a Wedgie Sled but haven’t used it yet. Will soon though. Thanks. You are an inspiration. Robert
@@ThePapa1947 yes on the guide. I made it for the 3/16” parting tool I have. Bought another at 1/8” but want one at 1/16”. Will remake the guide then. Found the carbide tool to overheat in the slot.
Beautiful. Love the way the segments offset themselves. And the glue-up of the leftovers is spectacular. That ring is going to make a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Doug. I did not put a lot of thought into using the cutoffs from this. Not until I saw the first one and then I knew I could probably use them. The Yellow Heart was the most spendy because you can not find it here other than what Rockler has already sized to various strips. Works out be around $40.00 a board foot that way. But I only put $15.00 into the piece. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow wee Gary that's the best one yet, what a beauty, one day i tell my self, i'm going to catch you up and do one of those, might not end up the same but i'm going to try. Big thumbs up. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Well thank you Ross. I was not really planning that. I would say I was testing myself a little. This was a first for sure and you did get to watch it all. Sure glad it all worked out. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another masterpiece, Gary! I think I heard you admit that you spend more time cutting and gluing-up than turning. I keep saying that one of these days I'll build some of the cutting jigs that you demonstrate and do a segmented bowl. I'll let you know when that day happens. Haha! Regardless, your precision and craftsmanship are admirable. Take care --Paul
Thank you very much Paul. For sure the time spent on turning is a small portion of all the other work. But you know I really love that part as well. This was almost going to be a patter. But even before things were glued together I decide on a BFB. I think it really gave it a nice look. Take care, Gary
Thank you Rick. Actually that edge was not as bad as I thought it might be. Holding a piece of sandpaper flat did the trick. As long as you do not angle it against the rotation it was fine. Sanding in between the scallops was the hardest. I have a number of sanding sticks that work good. Some I used at work and find I can use them here as well. Thanks for watching, Gary
You, Sir, are a true craftsman. I've learned so much watching your videos and I enjoy them very much! I've managed to manufacture my own tool holder for the bowl from a board, now just trying to master the technique, trying to come even a little bit close to what you're doing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Michael. Happy you were able to make a ring cutting jig and it is working. Just keep doing it and you will be able to perfect the technique. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary Your videos are a highlight to my week. I keep seeing these segmented turnings that you do and perhaps I need to try one. I have done some segmented turnings but not with the patterns in them. Thanks for the motivation.
Beautifully done Gary. The pattern is outstanding and rim really makes the piece. In addition to producing a beautiful bowl your production is also outstanding. You demonstrated just enough of each step for us viewers to understand what and how you are proceeding without running it into the ground. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. It is hard sometimes just to know how much time to spend on one thing. Editing can be a real bear as well. Still working on all of that. Thanks for watcing, Gary
Thank you Larry and I do use those pieces and have a video on them. If I would have known I was going to use them I may have cut them just a little different but I still turned out nice. If you have not seen it here it is. ua-cam.com/video/HOPL1zBRAf4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
The bowl-from-a-board technique works perfectly here. I have gone to using a tilted bandsaw table and cutting half-rings utilizing a jig. The upside is that the saw kerf is only the width of the 1/4" blade. You do have to glue the two half-rings together. Minimizing the saw kerf is important, since the amount of overlap you end up with is: overlap = thickness of the board x Cosine (angle of the bowl from the horizontal) - saw kerf. So the steeper the angle of the bowl and the wider the saw kerf, the less overlap you have. Your pattern is beautiful, too!
Thank you Anduril. I used to do it on a bandsaw as well. I just did not like gluing them together in halves. My bandsaw blades are around .04" thick. My parting tool is .062 thick. Not all that much different. At least not enough to make a difference on how I do them. The other think I do is measure the bottom of the one I just cut. i use that diameter to mark out the next ring. So the insides always line up with no step. Lots of ways to do it and what ever works is what a person should use. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’m sure you’ve seen some of Michael Mode’s bowls that have an angle of 65 degrees or more. You can tell that he understands the math of this situation since his layers are so thick at this steep angle.
Thank you very much Glen. I am happy with how it turned out and hope that I can get something somewhere close to this with the scraps. But I will be happy with it being half way close LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow, I started to try and duplicate this and then I realized that there is some serious math calculations involved in order for it to look symmetrical! You make it look a lot easier than it really is. I have even more respect for your skills. Now i need to figure out what to do with the board I have laminated up. The radial, radial part of this is making my head spin….lol
Thank you Rick. I will try to explain it so your head is not spinning LOL First cut for the chevron was 30 degrees. Then after 4 of those are glued it is an 18 degree cut Flipped around we then do a 30 degree cut. Now I have made a wedge of 18 degrees and that went against the fence so both sides would have the fence set the same. Hope that helps a little. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary I think you meant flipped around you do a 36 degree cut because there are 10 wedges on the circle. My big issue was how to get the 18 degree cut to go from the middle point to the bottom tail to keep the symmetry. This is a function between board width and the width of each “3/4 inch” slice. This is the math that was making my head hurt. Extra coffee did not help….lol. I cut a scrap piece of wood the same width of my laminated board and I will adjust the width of each “3/4 inch” to slightly more or less until the 18 degree angle lines up from center point to bottom tail. Now I am ordering a digital protractor and making a angle cutting sled. Wood turning is such a cheap hobby….🤣🤣
Thanks so much Richard. Well I am a retired wood pattern maker and had to design all the patterns I made from an engineers drawings. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hello Gary, I've seen almost all of your videos. I'm fascinated, excited. try to make similar pieces little by little. A few words about your presentation: It is really clear and understandable. It's fun to watch. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to get such wonderful wood here in Germany. I have to be satisfied with native woods. Keep it up. best regards Lothar
Thanks so much Lothar I appreciate you watching my videos. This is about all the information I used to build this turning. And it will give you the same pattern I have as long as you make your parallelograms at 30 degrees. Those pieces end up being 3/4" strips Just try and pick colors that will give a similar contrast and it will look nice. Paduak 1" Yellowheart .1/4" Blackwood 1" Yellowheart 1/4" Sapele 2 1/4 " As you can see I end up gluing 4 of those strips together and then make the wedges. Stop my video where you see the wedges being cut and you should be able to see the spot. If you have problems after getting the that far let me know and I will try and create a something to show where you should cut your pieces. Just remind me what we are doing so I can catch up on what I told you. Thanks for watching, Gary
You never cease to amaze me, I really enjoy trying to copy what you have done. My wife loves the end product, she says it makes me use the grey matter which hopefully wards off dementia.
There probably aren't more hurtful words that can be said to a woodworker, but in those final shots with that high gloss finish, it looks like it's made out of plastic.🙁. But I saw you cut up all those little pieces of WOOD and glue them up. It is beautiful and says very kind things about the craftsman. Once more, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Carson. I really need to do something about lighting as the LED's can make for bad photos. But I sure like working under them. Thanks for pointing that out it gives me something to strive to improve on. Take care, Gary
Excellent in every respect Gary! That is a fantastic piece. I love how you show and explain in such detail, to make it easy for us to try. I would love to try something like that. The only thing I would have done different would be to have kept the center in place, instead of the dowel. But I love it. I love your encouragement in every video that you do. The outside of the bowl is very unique, and lovely. Altogether, a fantastic project. Thank you very much, and see you next week.
Thank you Mark. Happy you enjoyed the video. You know I sure gave it a second thought about leaving the dowel out. But I had drew it up both ways. I got hooked on the pin in the middle. And it was not an engrain turning. I cut a piece and turned it so we would be looking at flat grain. Gary
...yep...that turned out amazing...not thinking, I imagined you'd round off the edge, but I'm glad you didn't...it adds character to the piece. And I really liked the use of the duct tape...I need to remember that idea. Well done!...👍
Thank you very much. Yes I like the scalloped edges a lot. So I think it would have been really hard to line things up without the tape. And something like this I like to have all the pieces glued at once. Other wise 2 halves can be an issue with fitting together. Since I knew they would all fit that was the only option for me. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Tim. I have a box full of pieces I have not tossed. Sometimes when I do a fancy feature ring I make enough pieces for 2. When I have many setups to make them it is worth it. This one was a real bonus that was not even planned. Thanks for watching, Gary
I was talking to a craft vendor at Silver Dollar City a week ago, who had some really nice segmented pieces, and I asked him if he had seen any of your videos. He knew immediately who I was talking about and was going to attempt your illusion pattern. He even had a picture of it on his phone. While my wife and I have season passes to SDC, because it's "just down the road" from us, I doubt that I'll be back in time to see how he did. Still, I thought I'd let you know. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you very much for telling me this story. Happy to hear others like what I do enough to want to do it. I do get a lot of request for those dimension. Where do you live in MO? We traveled through there in 2016, Gary
I do like the dark insert in the middle Gary, but I would have been tempted not to put one in just to show the accuracy of the cutting of the segments. That is amazing and I love the rim, very clever idea. Great video as ever my friend. Take care Gary. Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much Huw, I did think about not using the insert in the middle but I sold myself on it when I drew it up. Happy you liked it my friend! Hwyl, Gary
Wonderful project and thanks foe sharing with us. I do have a request for a future video. I would like to see a video on how you make precise cites and glue up without pieces sliding when being clamped. These are two things that I could use help with
Thank you Ken and I will try to fit your request in on the next segmented video. But what really worked good here was to tape them lined up in place and then getting the glue on. I show that a little but I can do more. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another gorgeous piece. Your segmenting knowledge is incredible. I love the design of this one, the outside edge really makes it fantastic. Excellent finish as well! 🙂
@@ThePapa1947 wood is so much fun to work with, i'm making little sculptures (figurines) and when i have saved enough i'll buy a lathe to.. can't wait and thank you very much for some future inspiration!! take care and keep up the cool geometric designs, they are reminding me of the arabian geometric inlay patterns in like.. kind regards, laurens
Thank you Richard. When I drew it up that top ring just looked that way. At that point I figured as along as it goes together it should look great. They all lined up so I left it the way I was hoping I could. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another gorgeous piece Gary! Bravo! I remember the Painted Hills also. They are another example of the natural beauty in Oregon, a must see sight when touring the eastern portion of the state. Stuart
Thank you Stuart. You know we both was born here and that was the first trip to the Painted Hills. That year was the year of all the forest fires and we hit some of the smoke while finishing up the Painted Hills part of the trip. Take care, Gary
Great to see how the sequence of all those single steps end up in such a beautiful bowl. The edge of the bowl looks good - surprisingly no rework needed (?) I really enjoyed watching this - almost the same amount of fun as standing at my own lathe and turning something. Please continue entertaining us with your smart ideas and your great turning videos!
Thank you very much. I enjoyed all the steps getting there and knew they all had to be as perfect as I could get them. There was 2 scallops that may have been 1/32 off but that shows up a lot. I just carved them together with a nice sharp chisel. All the rest lined up perfect. Baffled my why they did but not even noticeable. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gorgeous piece. I like the decorative rim, but a real knuckle buster. I've used your technique to make a couple of bowls and appreciate that you've shared your knowledge.
Thank you Dave. Dang now you have made me think about what I have spent on chucks and tools..LOL I know I have 6 chucks so I do not plan on adding all that up or I will be depressed. But those were all bought over a number of years. Best of luck! Gary
Very nice! Interesting and beautiful. Two little things: One is that I personally prefer lots of coats steel wooled semi-gloss. It fills the grain and leaves a "classier" look to my eyes. Glossy always shows every single slight "flaw". And I'm always sort of OCD about how much glue you slather on when gluing up. I use nearly half that amount and have never had anything come apart. To each his own. I DO like the scalloped edge! And now I like the way your offset the segments when gluing up the rings, though at first, I didn't think I would. Always love your precision workmanship and innovative designs, Gary! Thanks!
Thank you Dave. I like the semi gloss look as well. I just do not use it on turnings like this. The reason for plenty of glue on these is with all the things that need to line up I need to be able to slide them around if needed. And that could be in 10 joints. But I do agree it does not take that much glue. At work gluing patterns up I was happy to see a few beads come out at the joints, And they never came apart. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks so much much Greg. I knew for sure that rim would have that shape once glued together. I was thrilled that it looked so good and I was able to keep it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much Bill. I put a lot of thought in these projects before I even go out to the shop. I want to be pretty sure it will work. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much Tim. This one was very interesting because depending on how many segments I used the shape would change a lot. I picked this number because it left the scallops. Thanks for watching. Gary
Thank you very much Bill. Happy you liked it. The mad scientist had to take a week off to learn something new. Hope you enjoy it as well. Take care, Gary
Another great tutorial Gary . It's to bad I don't have a table saw any longer as it would be fun to try one of these . But , I sure enjoy watching you create these way cool projects . We hope you are almost healed and we look forward to seeing you at the lathe again soon .
Your imagination inspires me and your astounding precision is admirable. Some of your pieces I have reproduced but some I have failed at for my lack of precision. Thanks for sharing with all of your followers.
Thanks so much Stephen. Happy to hear you have been able to reproduce some of them. I am guessing you will doing all of them soon enough. Thanks for watching, Gary

I love creations from scraps! Trees are living creatures, wasting wood is a shame, and designs like that one are way pretier than solid pieces!!
i agree it is a great way to make something from hard to find wood.
So friends of ours had to have a Walnut tree cut down because it was dying and becoming unsafe. They were very happy I took all the wood and am making things from it. The other option was it was going to be firewood. The big chunks I do get to turned are destined to be burned and I feel I am saving them from that. Just my thoughts on it.

Thanks for your comments Valerie they were Good, good, good.
It is not all that often I even need the points to match on the bottom but as long as your wedgie sled is perfect it is easy to do.

Thanks so much for letting me know Robert. Which part did you use the hard plastic on? The guide?
Have fun with the wedgie sled.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 yes on the guide. I made it for the 3/16” parting tool I have. Bought another at 1/8” but want one at 1/16”. Will remake the guide then. Found the carbide tool to overheat in the slot.
Salut Gary c’est vraiment de l’excellent travail de pro , j’adore bravo 👍👏👍👏 prend soins de toi 👋👋
Denis, merci beaucoup. Heureux que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo.
Gary
Beautiful. Love the way the segments offset themselves. And the glue-up of the leftovers is spectacular. That ring is going to make a great piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Doug. I did not put a lot of thought into using the cutoffs from this. Not until I saw the first one and then I knew I could probably use them. The Yellow Heart was the most spendy because you can not find it here other than what Rockler has already sized to various strips. Works out be around $40.00 a board foot that way. But I only put $15.00 into the piece.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow wee Gary that's the best one yet, what a beauty, one day i tell my self, i'm going to catch you up and do one of those, might not end up the same but i'm going to try. Big thumbs up. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thanks so much Gary! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask.
Take care,
Gary
now you are showing off Gary, lovely job and as always a superb finish on a gorgeous piece cheers Ross 👍👍
Well thank you Ross. I was not really planning that. I would say I was testing myself a little. This was a first for sure and you did get to watch it all. Sure glad it all worked out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another masterpiece, Gary! I think I heard you admit that you spend more time cutting and gluing-up than turning. I keep saying that one of these days I'll build some of the cutting jigs that you demonstrate and do a segmented bowl. I'll let you know when that day happens. Haha! Regardless, your precision and craftsmanship are admirable.
Take care
--Paul
Thank you very much Paul. For sure the time spent on turning is a small portion of all the other work.
But you know I really love that part as well. This was almost going to be a patter. But even before things were glued together I decide on a BFB. I think it really gave it a nice look.
Take care,
Gary
Lovely Gary! I really like the pie crust edge. That must have been a brute to sand and finish. Very beautiful design. Thanks for that! Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Actually that edge was not as bad as I thought it might be. Holding a piece of sandpaper flat did the trick. As long as you do not angle it against the rotation it was fine. Sanding in between the scallops was the hardest. I have a number of sanding sticks that work good. Some I used at work and find I can use them here as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow, very cool!!!! Love it!
Thank you Dianne and thanks for watching,
Gary
You, Sir, are a true craftsman. I've learned so much watching your videos and I enjoy them very much! I've managed to manufacture my own tool holder for the bowl from a board, now just trying to master the technique, trying to come even a little bit close to what you're doing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Michael. Happy you were able to make a ring cutting jig and it is working. Just keep doing it and you will be able to perfect the technique.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Mr. Gary, you are the man. Beautiful piece! Congratulations!
Thank you very much Charles I appreciate your comments.
Gary
Another great piece Gary. The process is explained in easy to follow instructions. I will try to make one when my health is better. Thanks 👏👏👏👏👍
Thank you very much Steve. And I hope you feel better soon.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary.
Gary Your videos are a highlight to my week. I keep seeing these segmented turnings that you do and perhaps I need to try one. I have done some segmented turnings but not with the patterns in them. Thanks for the motivation.
Thank you very much Rick. Maybe start out by just adding the feature ring in a turning. That was the first part I glued up.
Take care,
Gary
Very cool Gary. I enjoy watching your videos Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Dave and I enjoy knowing you are watching them.
Take care,
Gary
Beautifully done Gary. The pattern is outstanding and rim really makes the piece. In addition to producing a beautiful bowl your production is also outstanding. You demonstrated just enough of each step for us viewers to understand what and how you are proceeding without running it into the ground. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. It is hard sometimes just to know how much time to spend on one thing. Editing can be a real bear as well. Still working on all of that.
Thanks for watcing,
Gary
That's one gorgeous platter/bowl. Love the play of lights on it.
Thank so much Judith. The Sapele really loves to show of when you move it under the lights. I love that wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love this piece. And as a bonus, the remaining pieces create a second stunning piece. Thanks for sharing this and giving me new ideas to try.
Thank you Larry and I do use those pieces and have a video on them. If I would have known I was going to use them I may have cut them just a little different but I still turned out nice.
If you have not seen it here it is. ua-cam.com/video/HOPL1zBRAf4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
The bowl-from-a-board technique works perfectly here. I have gone to using a tilted bandsaw table and cutting half-rings utilizing a jig. The upside is that the saw kerf is only the width of the 1/4" blade. You do have to glue the two half-rings together. Minimizing the saw kerf is important, since the amount of overlap you end up with is: overlap = thickness of the board x Cosine (angle of the bowl from the horizontal) - saw kerf. So the steeper the angle of the bowl and the wider the saw kerf, the less overlap you have. Your pattern is beautiful, too!
Thank you Anduril. I used to do it on a bandsaw as well. I just did not like gluing them together in halves. My bandsaw blades are around .04" thick. My parting tool is .062 thick. Not all that much different. At least not enough to make a difference on how I do them. The other think I do is measure the bottom of the one I just cut. i use that diameter to mark out the next ring. So the insides always line up with no step.
Lots of ways to do it and what ever works is what a person should use.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I’m sure you’ve seen some of Michael Mode’s bowls that have an angle of 65 degrees or more. You can tell that he understands the math of this situation since his layers are so thick at this steep angle.
Lining the next ring up with the last one is a trick
Very striking bowl. All that math to get that beauty is as interesting as the finished product.
Thank you Fran. Happy you enjoyed the process.
Take care,
Gary
Another of your usually outstanding pieces. Great wood selection and attention to detail.👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. I am happy with how it turned out and hope that I can get something somewhere close to this with the scraps. But I will be happy with it being half way close LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 You shouldn't say scraps. They are just off-cuts waiting for another project.😀😀
Wow, I started to try and duplicate this and then I realized that there is some serious math calculations involved in order for it to look symmetrical! You make it look a lot easier than it really is. I have even more respect for your skills. Now i need to figure out what to do with the board I have laminated up. The radial, radial part of this is making my head spin….lol
Thank you Rick. I will try to explain it so your head is not spinning LOL
First cut for the chevron was 30 degrees.
Then after 4 of those are glued it is an 18 degree cut
Flipped around we then do a 30 degree cut.
Now I have made a wedge of 18 degrees and that went against the fence so both sides would have the fence set the same.
Hope that helps a little.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary I think you meant flipped around you do a 36 degree cut because there are 10 wedges on the circle. My big issue was how to get the 18 degree cut to go from the middle point to the bottom tail to keep the symmetry. This is a function between board width and the width of each “3/4 inch” slice. This is the math that was making my head hurt. Extra coffee did not help….lol. I cut a scrap piece of wood the same width of my laminated board and I will adjust the width of each “3/4 inch” to slightly more or less until the 18 degree angle lines up from center point to bottom tail. Now I am ordering a digital protractor and making a angle cutting sled. Wood turning is such a cheap hobby….🤣🤣
Looks awesome Gary I love it and what a shine stay safe friend 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much radar and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl. I love your work. You are definitely an engineer.
Thanks so much Richard. Well I am a retired wood pattern maker and had to design all the patterns I made from an engineers drawings.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hello Gary,
I've seen almost all of your videos. I'm fascinated, excited. try to make similar pieces little by little. A few words about your presentation: It is really clear and understandable. It's fun to watch.
Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to get such wonderful wood here in Germany. I have to be satisfied with native woods.
Keep it up.
best regards Lothar
Thanks so much Lothar I appreciate you watching my videos.
This is about all the information I used to build this turning. And it will give you the same pattern I have as long as you make your parallelograms at 30 degrees. Those pieces end up being 3/4" strips
Just try and pick colors that will give a similar contrast and it will look nice.
Paduak 1"
Yellowheart .1/4"
Blackwood 1"
Yellowheart 1/4"
Sapele 2 1/4 "
As you can see I end up gluing 4 of those strips together and then make the wedges.
Stop my video where you see the wedges being cut and you should be able to see the spot.
If you have problems after getting the that far let me know and I will try and create a something to show where you should cut your pieces.
Just remind me what we are doing so I can catch up on what I told you.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary,
Great job, as usual. I'll be trying this too, as soon as I am able.

There probably aren't more hurtful words that can be said to a woodworker, but in those final shots with that high gloss finish, it looks like it's made out of plastic.🙁. But I saw you cut up all those little pieces of WOOD and glue them up. It is beautiful and says very kind things about the craftsman. Once more, thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Carson. I really need to do something about lighting as the LED's can make for bad photos. But I sure like working under them.
Thanks for pointing that out it gives me something to strive to improve on.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent in every respect Gary! That is a fantastic piece. I love how you show and explain in such detail, to make it easy for us to try. I would love to try something like that. The only thing I would have done different would be to have kept the center in place, instead of the dowel. But I love it. I love your encouragement in every video that you do. The outside of the bowl is very unique, and lovely. Altogether, a fantastic project. Thank you very much, and see you next week.
Thank you Mark. Happy you enjoyed the video. You know I sure gave it a second thought about leaving the dowel out. But I had drew it up both ways. I got hooked on the pin in the middle. And it was not an engrain turning. I cut a piece and turned it so we would be looking at flat grain.
Gary
...yep...that turned out amazing...not thinking, I imagined you'd round off the edge, but I'm glad you didn't...it adds character to the piece. And I really liked the use of the duct tape...I need to remember that idea. Well done!...👍
Thank you very much. Yes I like the scalloped edges a lot.
So I think it would have been really hard to line things up without the tape. And something like this I like to have all the pieces glued at once. Other wise 2 halves can be an issue with fitting together. Since I knew they would all fit that was the only option for me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A lot of work, but it came out great. Thanks for the video and how-to tips. Cheers, Tom
Thank you Tom and thanks for watching.

Beautiful job. Such a nice way to use up all those scrap pieces! Never throw anything away!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tim. I have a box full of pieces I have not tossed. Sometimes when I do a fancy feature ring I make enough pieces for 2.
When I have many setups to make them it is worth it. This one was a real bonus that was not even planned.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I was talking to a craft vendor at Silver Dollar City a week ago, who had some really nice segmented pieces, and I asked him if he had seen any of your videos. He knew immediately who I was talking about and was going to attempt your illusion pattern. He even had a picture of it on his phone. While my wife and I have season passes to SDC, because it's "just down the road" from us, I doubt that I'll be back in time to see how he did. Still, I thought I'd let you know. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you very much for telling me this story. Happy to hear others like what I do enough to want to do it. I do get a lot of request for those dimension.
Where do you live in MO? We traveled through there in 2016,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary, my wife and I live in Springfield.
I do like the dark insert in the middle Gary, but I would have been tempted not to put one in just to show the accuracy of the cutting of the segments.
That is amazing and I love the rim, very clever idea.
Great video as ever my friend.
Take care Gary.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much Huw, I did think about not using the insert in the middle but I sold myself on it when I drew it up.
Happy you liked it my friend!

Wonderful project and thanks foe sharing with us. I do have a request for a future video. I would like to see a video on how you make precise cites and glue up without pieces sliding when being clamped. These are two things that I could use help with
Thank you Ken and I will try to fit your request in on the next segmented video. But what really worked good here was to tape them lined up in place and then getting the glue on. I show that a little but I can do more.
Thanks for watching,

Hi aI told myself you should leave the top ring the way it is and you have thank for a great video Richard
Thank you Richard. When I drew it up that top ring just looked that way. At that point I figured as along as it goes together it should look great. They all lined up so I left it the way I was hoping I could.

Great to see how the sequence of all those single steps end up in such a beautiful bowl.
The edge of the bowl looks good - surprisingly no rework needed (?)
I really enjoyed watching this - almost the same amount of fun as standing at my own lathe and turning something.
Please continue entertaining us with your smart ideas and your great turning videos!
Thank you very much. I enjoyed all the steps getting there and knew they all had to be as perfect as I could get them.
There was 2 scallops that may have been 1/32 off but that shows up a lot. I just carved them together with a nice sharp chisel. All the rest lined up perfect. Baffled my why they did but not even noticeable.

Thanks so much Stewart. I do love those "bits and bobs"
Thanks for watching my friend.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice! Interesting and beautiful. Two little things: One is that I personally prefer lots of coats steel wooled semi-gloss. It fills the grain and leaves a "classier" look to my eyes. Glossy always shows every single slight "flaw". And I'm always sort of OCD about how much glue you slather on when gluing up. I use nearly half that amount and have never had anything come apart. To each his own. I DO like the scalloped edge! And now I like the way your offset the segments when gluing up the rings, though at first, I didn't think I would.
Always love your precision workmanship and innovative designs, Gary! Thanks!
Thank you Dave. I like the semi gloss look as well. I just do not use it on turnings like this.
The reason for plenty of glue on these is with all the things that need to line up I need to be able to slide them around if needed. And that could be in 10 joints.
But I do agree it does not take that much glue. At work gluing patterns up I was happy to see a few beads come out at the joints,
And they never came apart.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another great creation, interesting segmented pattern with a truly unique rim for a piece straight of the lathe.
Thanks so much much Greg. I knew for sure that rim would have that shape once glued together. I was thrilled that it looked so good and I was able to keep it.

Gosh, you do some amazing projects. Thanks for showing all your steps. You have a great eye for geometric shapes.
Thank you very much Tim. This one was very interesting because depending on how many segments I used the shape would change a lot. I picked this number because it left the scallops.
Thanks for watching.
