Wood Turning With A Feature Ring
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- This is my latest segmented turning. Made from Padauk and using Walnut and Yellow Birch for the feature ring. I gave it a stair step look rather than a standard chevron look.
It looks a little like a Hot Air Ballon
I finished it using sprayed on lacquer and abrasive paste and polish.
Finishes used:
Deft spray lacquer
Acks Abrasive Paste
Acks Polishing\Restoring Paste

You've done it again, Professor! You really explain your process so well, even I can understand it! I've never done a segmented piece but you make me want to try. If only I could get at my tablesaw! I love the way you laid out the stair step look. It gives the whole piece a great dimension. And your finish, wow! Just perfect! Very, very nice piece, Gary! You are proud of it and you should be! I really like it, great job, my friend! 😊

Thanks so much Phil! The thing about segments is there is not all that much turning and nothing very technical.
But the other thing is you know I love working these things out and this was a blast. What I was really proud of is it went together so smoothly. I was not sure doing the feature ring I have never done.
It was a blast and I am happy you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
I would have to agree with Uncle Phil, Papa G: outstanding ❣️👍👍
Thank you Dwayne and you should Always listen to your Uncle LOL

Gary, another masterpiece, I really like your segmented pieces, my favorites are the optical illusion turnings. I would love to own one of your works… thanks as always for sharing
Thank you very much Michael I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
Love the little sled you built. Until now I have been cutting that angle on my chop saw - not the easiest thing to do. I'll build one of your sleds designs now and give that a try. Great idea. Thank you for that tip.
Thank you very much. I have done a few with a miter saw but the sled is so much easier and consistent.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I’m interested in your saw sled for the bevel
Love the bowl love watching your videos!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you. That is just a rail set at 30 degrees to the face of the saw blade.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀l think it turned out perfect. Love the backgrounds.
Thanks so much Grammy Bear!!!
Thank You Gary... I did kinda suspect something fancy was coming this Friday after your simple turning last Friday. Always FUN watching your process. My favorite???...EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!
I also use the Digital Angle Gauge with work but I always think of those craftsmen 150 years ago installing Parquet flooring with perfect angles all by hand. Wow, those craftsmen!!
Very nice work Gary and a wonderful example of your creative imagination. Just thinking, while I watch, in that one little mistake along the way will throw the entire piece off. Your finished piece is flawless and beautiful!!!...I would think a bit nerve racking along the way at times?.....until next Friday......TM
Thanks so much tuffy, I wish I would have had one of those digital angle gauges when making patterns that had tapered staves. But my Starrett angle gauges did a good job. Certainly one mistake on the feature ring sure could ruin your day. As much as I want to see the finish product I try to never get in a hurry.
See you next week and all I can say is it is very ODD!
Take care,
Gary
Gary once again you have created a masterpiece. You have a great vision of how things will look when it is done. You are great at explaining the steps to make a turning and how you assemble things. Keep up the great work and I look forward to many more. Thank you for your work
Thank you very much Dave! I appreciate your very kind words.
Take care,
Gary
Very beautiful. The staggered chevron pattern is unique and very eye appealing.
I would like either pattern in standard matching or staggered. Someone who was purchasing this may likes something that is different bringing a possible higher sale point. Just my ¢.02 worth.
Thank you Dan and I agree. Something different always catches my eye.
Case in point in 2003 I was shopping for a new truck to pull a heavy travel trailer. I looked at most and when I looked at the new Dodge Ram I thought it was ugly it was so different. A few weeks later I looked at it again and I really looked it over realizing that I liked that look. I still have the truck and it still looks great to me.
Thanks for watching and you 2 cents worth,
Gary
Did you use Lamination Pro to make the feature ring? I know you like Wood Turner Pro and I think you may have use that as well. I gave you a "thumbs up" for the video. I've watched it several times and every time I watch it I see something new. I have used Ack's Abrasive Paste and the restoring wax on a couple of my projects, and I love the stuff. "You" are the first person I saw using it and how to apply it. Thank you!!
Yes I did use Lamination Pro to look at what it might look at. Also in combination with Woodturner Pro just to get the height the ring to be.
As far as the offset of the wood I did not use any software for that. Not sure that is an option. Plus this pattern is easy enough that no software would be needed.

I'm a new subscriber, I don't usually care for a lot of talking in these videos, but you are very informative and have a pleasant voice. It's nice to have a good idea of what you're doing. And your projects are very beautiful.
Thank you very much Merrie. So many people want to learn more about how this is done. Only way I know how to do that is explain. I have asked a few people how they did something and was told figure it out yourself. I did figure it out then happily shared it here.
They did plenty of talking and no explaining. So that is why I do what I do.

Wow, Gary, I love this bowl! You've given me several tips on improving my glue-ups.
Thank you Carol, happy you liked it. Happy you found something that will help with your glue ups.

Beautiful work as always, Gary! My wife really liked it and enjoys your videos as much as I do. Always a pleasure to watch you work, my friend. Stay safe and healthy!

Thank you very much Gord. This was a very fun one to do and I am happy it all came together smoothly. First chevron I have made and sure glad I have so many little sleds made up.
Take care buddy,
Gary
I love padauk but I have had the color bleeding problem but no more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Another great instructional video.
Thank you Jim. I know the first time I used Padauk I was shocked at how much it does bleed. This does solve the problem but you still need to be careful with the first 3 coats.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow...you keep moving the bar higher. That is a show stopper. Your finish really makes it stand out and the pictures are really nice as well. I really do look forward to your videos. :) Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks so much James I truly appreciate your comments.
Thanks again my friend,
Gary
So informative and brill ideas. thanks. BTW I like the chevrons offset how you did them
Thank you very much Kev and thanks for watching.
Gary
Impressive finish. I tend to shy away from Padauk for the exact reason you mentioned. I'll try your method. Thanks.
Thank you Jack! I like Padauk by itself but I really like it mixed with other woods. I had to figure out a way to keep it from bleeding over and this has worked great. Give it a try I am sure you will like it.
But do not get in a hurry or it can still bleed.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another fine example of the work we have come to expect from you. 1 question if I may, What type of lock do you use on your chuck when turning in reverse? Regards, Wal Rogers.
Thanks so much Wal. My chucks have a set screw that locks on the flat spot of the spindle. Just make sure you remember to back it off when removing the chuck.
Thanks for watching,

Stunning piece of work. So well explained and demonstrated. Keep up the great work. John from the uk.
Thanks so much John and thanks for watching.
Gary
Another beautiful piece of art. Success
Where do you buy your deft lacquer from? I was getting it from lowes but they stopped selling it here.
Thank you Stanley. I get Deft at Home Depot. I also get it at Bi-Mart but you may not have one of those stores.
Ace Hardware also has it but the cost is a lot higher.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
The piece is beautiful, i would suggest a light grey to white background and light through a transparent medium such as velluem paper.
Thank you Guy. I have tried a number of backgrounds including white. My shop is setup for wood turning and working and I have LED lights which seem to be hard to work with. Plus not really having a spot to the photos I would like to be able to.
How would you setup the velluem paper and what light source would you use behind it? And would the LED lights cause and issue?
I certainly could get a light grey back ground but thought what I had was fairly light.
Thanks for the tips as I am always trying to improve on the photos.
Gary
Really enjoyed the video. I have only made a segmented chalice which was fun. I cut my segments on a similar jig on my small band saw but I like your method much more, the Table saw has more room and better visibility at the cut. Alan UK.
Thanks so much. I know a lot of people cut them on the bandsaw and it seems to work. I would think a real wide place would be good. Such as 5/8 or 3/4 and a fine tooth?
Thanks for watching and commenting,
Gary
That really looks good. Have you ever used spray on Poly. This is what the turning club I belong to uses. would mahogany bleed as well. Thanks Tim
Hi Tim, I have used some spray on polyurethane but not on turnings. It should keep the padauk from bleeding as well if you just dust a few coats on. If you spray it on wet it will bleed for sure.
I do not think Mahogany has the oils in it that will allow it to bleed so I would say no it will not.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A very nice bowl, for me it a new fresh design. Great job. I also lihe the way you applied the finish, something to think about.
Thanks s much Randy and making the chevron was new to me. But very easy to do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I buy the stainless steel hose clamps in the plumbing department of Menards. I find these are much better quality than the hose clamps sold in the heating and air conditioning department. Nice bowl
They have smaller stainless ones at Home Depot but I really like the larger ones. But I have some of the 6 inch as well.
No Menards here in Oregon.
Hi Gary the chevron bowl is brilliant I simply have to have an attempt with one of those you are fantastic I only wish I was half as good as you my friend have a merry Christmas and a happy new year wood turning bye for now Ron.
Thank you very much Ron. Give it a try. You might surprise yourself.
Merry Christmas my friend.
Gary
Gary that is absolutely awesome I like the birch opposite the walnut. Everything lined up perfectly and the finish is awesome. I just made my first segmented HF. Do you have a email? Thanks for showing!
Cheers Mark
Thank you Mark. Happy you like it. You can find my email in my about page. And you need to look on a PC because your phone will not show it.
Thanks for watching and commenting,

I love your videos and your work. I have borrowed your ideas on a few projects of my own. I would like to purchase some of those ten inch stainless hose clamps. Where did you get yours?
Thank you very much Ric!
I found them on Amazon and they work great.

Beautiful piece Gary. Have never used any paduk. Stay safe and cheers from MT!
Thank very much. Padauk turns like a dream for sure.
Thanks for watching,

Previous comment was from planed chaos. Really enjoy your site.
Thank and that what I thought.
Gary
Absolutely beautiful!! How about a segment on making the jigs to cut the angle s. I would like to be able to make some segmented bowls thanks again for the great video
Thank you Amy. If you are talking about he wedgie sled for the Padauk segments you can get those plans for free on
www.segeasy.com/wedgiesledplan1.pdf
Might be easier than a video. But I could show how I use mine.
Take care,
Gary
You never cease to amaze me! That is a grand achievement! It is absolutely beautiful, and the illusion is outstanding! You’ve outdone yourself! I love this piece! Bravo!
Thanks so much Mary. I had lots of fun designing this one.
Take care
Gary
A stunning piece! I love the segment alignment and I can see why you’re proud of it
Thank you Michael, it was sure a lot of fun to do.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
I've been segment turning for a while, but I haven't tried a segmented base. How do you get the segments to come to a perfect point ?
HI Jim,
I use a wedgie sled and a 60 tooth blade on my table saw. Then making slow cuts you will be able to leave a nice end on the segment.
And you do have to make sure the sled is cutting perfect.
It works very well for me.
Hope this helps and best of luck getting setup to do it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Fantastic work and color choice it turned out stunning i did a cutting board gluing two maple to two two walnut and making it longer and wider than your finished size then cutting the 30 degree across one end then run the angle cut thru the table saw then you take all of the pieces and flip them 180 every other piece the glue together it looks three dimensiol
Thank you Mark! For sure that would make a beautiful cutting board.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Amazing output👌 How many hours you wait after applying glue to wood pieces?
So while assembling the rings I think an hour before I do the next ring. After they are all glued on if it is late in the day I will wait till the next morning. Other wise for me 6 hours is plenty. All depends on how much would will need to be turned off. But I tend to add support from the tail stock on something that is sticking out a long way. Usefully from a flat disk with the live center against it.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask if not.
Gary
Beautiful bowl Gary! I think the chevron pattern works well but had you done the regular way, that probably would’ve been just as nice.
Stuart
Thank you Stuart! Yes it will be interesting to see how it looks the other way as I think I will do that. But maybe much smaller.
Take care,
Gary
New subscriber. That's a beautiful piece. Can't wait to see your next one.

I enjoyed watching your videos very much do you sell them and if so how can I get in contact with you
Thanks so much Barbara. I have not gotten into selling my turnings. At some point in time I will have to add on to our house or start selling.
Thanks for the interest and thanks for watching.
Gary
Olá boa tarde. Lindo trabalho, que tipos de madeira vcs usam para fazer essa linha peça? Fico agradecido se mim der uma resposta, boa tarde!
Obrigada. Eu usei Purple Heart, Teak, Maple e Cherry.
Obrigado por assistir,
Gary
Exceptional turning … how long did that take in actual man hours?
Thank you Barry. I am going to guess between 15-20 hours. Not counting waiting for glue.
I once kept track of a dizzy bowl because someone was interested in one. I spent 35 hours on it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Absolutely beautiful, Gary. The staggered joints were definitely the way to go. Adds more visual interest. Outstanding finish, too. Take care.
Bill
Thank you so much Bill, I looked at non staggered joints in Lamination Pro and just never have liked them all that much.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent! So, did you glue up all those little trimmings?
Thank you Valerie. I did not glue them up but I have saved them for sure. Already so a possible diamond shape from some of them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary, Astonishing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the staircase effect and think is is so much nicer than a straight chevron would have ended up looking.
I have one question, Why did you glue all the rings before turning rather that glue 3 or 4 rings turn those and so on. I hope you don't think that is a stupid question.
As always you make this look so easy which I know it isn't.
Brilliant video explaining the process as well.
Take care my friend and sorry for being Number 328 this week, but you know why.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw, so I normally always glue a few rings and then turn them and keep gluing. I did rough out the first 2 but when I glued the feature ring on it was getting late so I glued the rest on so I could turn it all the next day. It made it much harder to do but it did work out.
No problem and I understand why you were a little late but happy you still watched.
Take care and have fun,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks Gary. I certainly did work out. I'll have to try lacquer next time I use Paduk to stop the sanding dust bleeding into the lighter woods. Huw
Loved it, a first glue up is waiting for round two cutting and glue tomorrow.
Thank you Roger, how exciting I bet you are looking forward to it.
I have another one glued up with two coats of finish on it and will finish it up soon.
Thanks for watching,

Beautiful bowl and design. I was just wondering how wide are you slicing the pieces when you are cutting at 30 degrees
Thank you.
As I recall they were 1.125 inches wide.

Medieval lattice blinds were my first thought.. beautiful pattern, indeed! You talked about the bleeding of padouk. I recently had the problem during sanding not till finishing. The padouk dust coloured the maple grain. Any recommendments to avoid that? Thanks from Germany
Kerstin when I sand I used my compressor to blow the dust out of the grain. I also avoid wiping it down with alcohol or any other liquid as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks for the hint. Next time i'll try without alcohol. It was my first expensive wood project and I was pretty upset due to that mess.
Good evening! Magnificent work, I have learned a lot from you, I am starting in the art of lathe. Congratulations and keep going. Much health and peace. From a friend from Brazil
Thank you very much Carlos.

What is the name of the paste and polish the bowel looks awsom
It is Acks Sanding Abrasive paste. You can find it here. I think it is the only place it is sold. ackswoodpaste.com/
It is the best that I have used.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is one nice looking turning ... I like the segmented part just the way you did it. It does resemble a hot air balloon. Just curious, would a resin finish or a CA glue finish cause the padauk to stain the birch?
Thank you Qapla, I am sure the resin finish would make it bleed and probably the CA as well. Anything touching the Padauk then moved as it wiping it on or brushing will most likely cause it to bleed. Even water will do it. And you do not dare wipe it down with denatured alcohol because that really makes a mess.
What I do works but would love to find another way as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks for the reply. Yes, what you do definitely works.
I have never worked with padauk so I did not know it was that touchy. I will have to try it sometime to have some "hands on" experience ... and I'll be sure to avoid the denatured alcohol
yo have made one beautiful peace. A lid would go well with it
Thank you Neil and it has been suggested to make a lid to complete the Hot Air Balloon look.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Awesome just awesome Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Jerry!
I can see why you’re proud of this piece, it’s beautiful! I do like the staggered layout of the chevron pieces, I think it adds interest. Your photography at the end is looking great too. Fantastic as always, Gary!
Thank you very much Marcia and thanks for the feed back that always helps. Lighting on the turntable has been an issue but I hope I have it figured out now.
Take care,
Gary
Do yo think that you could have done this without a steady rest?
Sure it did not stick out all that far. I really do not remember why I used it. I imagine it just did not sound right to me while I was cutting. I listen closely to the sound made with all segmented work.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Awesome bowl! Getting a new cabinet saw today and can’t wait to make my first bowl! How do you sharpen your lathe tools?
Thank you Phillip. I use a slow speed 8 inch grinder and CBN wheels. I have an 80 grit for shaping and a 350 for bringing the edge back.
Which table saw are you getting. Nothing like a nice heavy cabinet saw.
Thanks for watching,

Great work my friend. I love how it turned out. FBWW
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching.
Gary
Amazing work! I just came across your channel as I am fairly new to the woodturning world. Your jigs fit right into my desire for a controlled and accurate way to do the best job every time. The intricate nature of the segmented bowls are pulling out my inner artist although my career has been as a surgeon. I am finding the skills for one are easily transferable to the other. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much William. I can see how as a surgeon you appreciate the methods involved with segmented turning. The skills may be transferable but I doubt they will allow me to do surgery. Although that has always interested me. When I had hand surgery they would show me what they were doing.
I worked as a pattern maker and my dentist and I would talk about different things he did that were similar to what I did as well such as making molds.
Thanks for watching and have fun with segmented turning and all other types you decide to try.
Thanks for watching,

Thank you very much Roma. And I do love making segmented pieces. They do take a little time with all the gluing but that gives me a chance to work on some other things.
Thanks for watching and commenting,

Wow, what a truly beautiful segmented bowl, Gary, I love it! Very precise glueing and cutting, and the artistic execution is very captivating, so beautiful 👍🏻😊 Highly interesting to watch it all come together, and you turned it into a great looking bowl, as usual 😎 These segmented bowls are very economical on the wood, I like that 👍🏻 and the finish is just WOW 👏🏻 I agree with you, I think the segments would look equally fantastic lined up. Great video, Gary, amazing bowl, thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for all your kind words about this video. Much appreciated. Yes it does save lots of wood but it does make the turning process much less and the shape is somewhat predetermined. But that does not make it any less fun to do. These pieces deserve the best finish I can put on them and I am happy with how this one turned out.
Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Wow, Gary! Absolutely stunning! I really got to get my technique with a spray finish refined a bit. Probably like most of the things I used to do, I'm rushing things. As for the pattern, I prefer the brick lay, since you asked. I will definitely be sharing this one because it is simply outstanding.
Thank you Jay I appreciate our comments. The trick with spray is not to rush it like you say. And get spray till it looks wet then stop.
But on the mix with Padauk I do 3 or so light dustings before spraying to the wet stage.
Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Great work!! What width did you cut the 30 degrees pieces?
Thanks
Thank you very much. Looking back on my files each strip was 9/16 inch wide.

Thanks so much and I do as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another beauty, Gary. I like the staggered look and am impressed with how you kept the padauk from staining the birch. So easy to land up with pink! Great job.
Many thanks Tom! Yes it is tricky not to have it bleed over. Just a little to much spray and it is all over. And not that easy to sand out.
Even water based poly will make it bleed.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I agree with Tom completely. I've aggravated myself bleeding the color and I'm happy to learn your solution. I don't think there's a wrong way to make the chevron, butcivdo think the alternation has a slight edge.
what is the width of each part?
The strips in the feature ring are 9/16 inch wide. I am guess that is what you are asking. If not let me know.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanKS, GREETINGS FROM SLOVENIA
It's beautiful, Gary!
Thanks so much Clayton, I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Another delightful piece! I love the alternating chevrons. The finish is rather astonishingly glassy, with just a hint of grain. Perfect!
Thanks so much Nan. I do like the stair step it created. So Padauk is very open grained. I could fill it by we sanding with the sealer but I like the look it leaves. Plus the problem of how Padauk bleeds would be an issue.
Take care,
Gary
Have a question for you. A neighbor and I are working on our first ever feature ring and trying to follow the 15 degree cut on the sides. First cut works perfect but on the second cut on the same segment leaves a small flat edge at the top. Are you having to make any adjustments for the second cut or any ideas where we are going wrong?
Are you making a feature ring like this one I did?
My guess is the strips are not wide enough along the 15 degree cut.
Look for my email in my about page and send me a picture of what you have. If you can add some dimension that would be helpful.
Gary

Hi i like your show and have been trying to decide on a wood lathe just for bowls. Would you have any recommendations at $600 or less for a new cheap wood lathe? Thanks
Thank you Gerry.
There are lots of used wood lathes for that price range. I just looked on Craigslist here in Portland and there was an old Powermatice. It is setup with Reeves drives and people think they are junk.
On the old Powermatic they were good.
We had one at the patternshop I worked at.
Look for JET or even some Grizzly lathes were nice and heavy duty.
Electronic speed is good but finding one at that price point might take awhile.
Best of luck,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 okay thank you. I saw a grizzly at store the other day and read good and bad on them in reviews.
I understand some of the grizzly lathes are pretty much the same as the powermatic.
All these crazy awesome bowls you make are amazing by the way. I was going to buy a book to help me learn how but watching your videos is like a cheat code and I will just try and copy you and see what I produce. Keep up the great stuff!
Thank you. If there is something I have done and you have questions let me know.
Absolutely amazing
