Segmented Bowls
Segmented bowls are made many individual pieces glued up to form a larger turning. This is my favorite form of turning because of the complexity involved. This process is more expensive because of the time involved. Each small piece is not only picked for species of wood, but also how best to highlight the grain. The amount of end grain shown in the finished piece will darken the natural colour while the amount of side grain will tend to lighten the look of the same species. The combinations of texture, colour and shapes are endless, as are the final shapes of the finished piece.
The selecting and cutting of each small section takes time, but then so do all the other steps in the process. Some of the more intricate designs take 4 or 5 days for the glue up and drying process alone. These many variations all help make each piece a one of a kind treasure to be enjoyed for years. A pleased customer has recently informed me that she used one of my covered bowls (that looks like an urn) for her beloved pet’s ashes.
