Eight Segmented Bowls 2020<\/p><\/div>\n

Top row left to right: Purpleheart, Maple, and Black Walnut x 2, Padauk, Maple, and Black Walnut x 2<\/p>\n

Bottom row left to right: Black Walnut and Maple; Maple and Black Walnut; Purpleheart and Padauk and Yellowheart; and Mix of Domestic Woods<\/p>\n

The easiest by far was the blank with the random mix of what I am mostly certain were domestic woods. The most difficult were the three featuring Purpleheart which is a difficult and splintery wood that doesn’t easily cut clean and requires some significant sanding. My favorite in appearance and the Maple and Walnut combinations and they were easy to turn as well. A significant problem with the Padauk and Maple blanks is that Padauk forms a soluble dye so when the finish is applied it transfers some of the orange color to the white maple. I felt that really detracted from the finished product and I wouldn’t use Padauk in a segmented blank given the future choice.<\/p>\n

I don’t have the planing and joining equipment required to make segmented blanks myself but it was an interesting exercise compared to working with a single species at a time.<\/p>\n

These will be given away by my sister as Christmas gifts so I hope they enjoy them!<\/p>\n

All cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool<\/a> system on my Robust American Beauty<\/a> lathe. Forward chucking was in a Nova Chuck,<\/a> while reverse chucking was done using a Nova Chuck with Cole Jaws<\/a>. Sanding was with Gold and Green Wave sanding discs from Packard Woodworks<\/a>. Final finish is Shellawax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, I wish all my readers a great experience in whatever your wood working interests happen to be and to those who like working with lathes especially, do a good turn today!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
