Segmented Woodturning with Decorative Base | Wood Turning Maple, Walnut, and Cherry

Segmented Woodturning with Decorative Base | Wood Turning Maple, Walnut, and Cherry
This week I tried out a decorative base. I cut up a bunch of parallelograms from maple, walnut and cherry. As I was assembling it, my inner 80s kid came out and I channeled some Q-Bert :)

John you beat me to it using a 3D image on the bottom of a segment turned bowl. Nice job!

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

@@make-somedust thanks! Let’s see yours when it is done!

[@ThePapa1947]

Looks fantastic John. I had no idea you had a channel. But this morning I had something pop up and said I had a mention from you. Thank you very much for mentioning me it is much appreciated. And you just gained a new subscriber. This was a very informative and fun video to watch. Take care, Gary

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

Your channel was the total inspiration for that base. Totally needed to credit you! Thanks for commenting and subscribing!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks! I do like doing tumbling blocks and have been thinking of making a lid for the cookie style turning with a tumbling block feature ring. Been 4 years or more since I made it. Keep up the great work I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Gary

I have a few things in the works. Should have another one out in a week to 10 days :)

[@make-somedust]

I like to see when folks give you a shout out for what you’ve taught them. I do the same on my channel when appropriate. Kudos to John for doing so here.

Cool, I've never seen a Miter Set. TIL.

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

It is nice set and really helps setting the mitre gauge. Thanks for watching!

Have you ever had any problems with the bottom cracking? I am just getting into segmented turning and am seeing alot of people using floating bottoms on their bowls. I am making urns and using epoxy to fill the bottom. What are your thoughts on this?

[@WoodturningWithJohnMarro]

I question how much wood movement there is with such small pieces? I don’t have decades of experience to pull from though. In the three years I have been doing segmented turning I have not had any issues. I have not done any epoxy bottoms. I hope that helps? Thanks for watching!
