Okay, you’ve got your lathe! You made a Bowl. You made more bowls. And some pens. And more bowls, and more pens and goblet and vase or two.
Looking for a bigger challenge?
Segmented Turning might be your new love! But we won’t kid you, segmented wood turning requires a whole different level of patience, precision and time. Cutting and assembling the segments is extremely precise work and to achieve the best results it cannot be rushed.
For those of you ready to dive in, we have lots of information on this site to help you!
If you are just starting out, you may want to try our Segmented Turning Kits! We hope to have kits for sale very soon. In addition to complete project kits, we will have pre-assembled rings of different sizes that you can mix and match to create your own unique works of art.
We need your help! Please leave a comment and let us know what type of kits you would like us to make available.
It would be great if you sold kits for segmented bowls then i could get more people involved with turning as well
I am just getting started in segmented wood turning. I believe kits would be a good learning tool.
When will you have kits for sale?
I would be interested in buying a plan for the jig your star pattern & a plan to construct your “coat of many colors” bowl. Wishing you luck. Please put me on your mailing list.
hi they i live ireland i love to have a go segmented 12 inch bowl can you post a kit to me i will pay for the kit and post thanks troy
Saw you on Woodturners Resource.
My 2 cents.
Looks like a good plan to sell kits.
As for species of wood I say just standard domestics such as maple, walnut, sycamore, mesquite and cherry will go a long way. They have no ‘gluing issue’ and can be assembled into endless varieties. Besides, I don’t see have you can get prices low enogh with exotics.
As for sizes I say nothing over 16″ rings for now.
I wish you prosperity!

Hi Bernie,
My son and I are just getting started and I wish I could give you a date. We are going as fast as we can, but want to make sure we get it right!
So, thanks for asking and please check back often.
Thanks, Neil

[...] segmented wood rings are carefully off-set during construction so that the patterns will evolve as you look at the piece [...]
