Wood Turning The Segmented Vortex Twister

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

You never cease to amaze me! That bowl is absolutely beautiful! I really like how the pieces fit together. I’ve never seen anyone so creative! Fantastic job! Bravo!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mary. I love doing these types of turnings as well as just tuning a piece of a log. It is nice to mix it up while I think of different ways to use segments. Take care, Gary

[@gardeningdianne]

Another beautiful piece. When you explained the difference of the Mahogany changing colour, I thought to myself, you can't change mother nature. Well done!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dave. One wood that can change color a lot is Purple Heart. If left in the shop unfinished it will turn very dark but after cutting and sanding it is back to purple. Thanks for watching, Gary

Wow I thought by myself how are you going to make a bowl out of a flat piece of wood or how are you going to make segments from these awesome shapes of wood. Well you really surprised me Garry. What an amazing and magnificent bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Kobie. You can do the same with a flat board and a band saw. But need to have 2 half rings and I was concerned with the glue up after doing it that way. This gave the rings a better chance of lining up. At least I think it was better. Thanks for watcing, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Khan! Actually I drew 1 line and rotated it. That same line fits on top of the other. The trick is making sure the cutter is removing the proper amount of material. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@Henry_Little]

SUPERB!!! You what's been rolling around in my head, Papa Gary? To have you and Phil "Uncle Phil" Anderson, collaborate on a turning! One guy picks the piece of wood (sight unseen), and turns the outside; then send it to the other guy (sight unseen), who'll turn the inside, as well as choose/apply the finish. I think that kind of approach (no brainstorming, or comparing notes beforehand), would demonstrate/illustrate the raw talent, and artistic creativity, of both your unique turning styles; along with sending the viewership into the upper stratosphere, for die-hand fans of both channels (like myself). I don't know, Papa G: what do you think? Dwayne

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dwayne, I am sure it would be fun. The thing of it is after turning the outside it does not leave a lot of choices on the inside. Although what I just finished was a piece Phil gave me. The outside was a struggle and I almost joked about sending it back to Phil. Food for thought, Thanks for watching, Gary

[@Henry_Little]

@@ThePapa1947 Understood, Papa G; but the would be the beauty of the challenge. We would get to see how the wood 'speaks' to the other woodturner, after receiving the 'raw' initial turning, from the other woodturner. If you'd like to really see this concept applied to it's fullest extent: do two pieces- you start one, that Uncle Philly finishes; then he starts one, that you then finish... Wow, think of the possibilities? 🤔 I think it would be a friggin' awesome challenge!!!🤯 P.S.S. - I think both styles are uniquely different, but complimentary. You both let the wood reveal what it wants to be: you guys could easily finish a piece of each other's work, and I'd lay anybody odds, that both would be the bomb!💣 DT

My garage suffers from what I call "Horizontal Surface Disease". Every horizontal surface grows a covering of scrap lumber, misplaced tools and assorted debris. This makes me want to go clear off my CNC and lathe and try something new. Thanks. Amazing job!

[@ThePapa1947]

Well thank you so much. Happy you liked it but I am wondering if your disease did not spread to my shop. Every flat spot I have becomes a bench. I have 2 band saws next to each other and I move the wood from one side to the other depending on which one I want to use. I wonder if I should just put the wood away LOL So you have a CNC? Well you sure could do this. What sort do you have. Mine are both milling machines and have considered getting rid of one and get a CNC router. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@gjforeman]

@@ThePapa1947 I have 1 1/3, roughly, of a 3 car garage. The balance is all junk we don't seem to be able to part with, but our heirs will no doubt find a dumpster for it all in short order. Before that time, I'm planning a big shed for the side yard. Once the junk moves out there, my wife thinks we'll finally get a car in the garage. I'm seeing a larger shop. Maybe we can squeeze in both. My CNC is a Shapeoko 3XL. Had it a few years now. Nice mid-sized unit. I built a dedicated cart for it, 54 wide by 23 deep. Still needed an enclosure and better dust control that me waving shop vac hose at it. A bigger than expected retirement bonus got me a copy of Aspire to run it with. Amazing CNC software but certainly not cheap. As if that didn't get weird enough, I got a 7-watt laser from J-Tech Photonics and strapped that to the CNC Z axis. Using LightBurn software on that. Bit more of a learning curve but wow is it fun to mess with. Again, when I can find it all. We have a "2-month" reno of our backyard that is now past 5 months and counting, so lots of backyard stuff had to come inside off the patio because there is no longer a patio. Add that to my persistent case of "HSD" and I cant find anything. My table saw is now a pyramid-shaped mound in the middle of the floor. Lathe cart is buried in gardening tools. Ditto the CNC cart. Keep saying I need to go clean it up but today I'm under the kitchen sink again. Replaced the faucet last night but there's now a small leak from the RO water spigot. Rats.

I am so happy to finally see someone address the horrible colour bleeding from Padauk. I'm new to woodturning and my first segmented piece was a little birdhouse ornament made to look like a brick house using Padauk and Ash. In the end, the Ash is basically a lighter shade of Padauk, no matter what I did, the colour kept bleeding and I finally gave up and embrace my pale orange 'grout'. I asked other woodturners if there was a secret to stopping it, but no one seemed to share my issue, at least now I can try using Padauk again and will hopefully have similar results as you did! I think this bowl turned out amazing, I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. As long as you do not put a wet coat on from the start I promise it will not bleed. Very light over spray. And you do not have to wait long for the next coat. I did a Dizzy bowl that had Padauk next to Maple and I ended up sanding all of the finish off and started over. My little Padauk brick house vase had black veneer so it was not a probably to wipe on Tung oil. Thanks for watching and happy this was able to help you. Gary

[@linkinprk1981]

Had the same problem with a rocking horse I make for my kids. the saddle was padauk and the body was maple. I nearly started crying when it looked like someone shot the horse and it was bleeding because the drips from the shellac finish dripped from the padauk to the maple =\

Thank you Andy, It is pretty easy once you understand the concept. On large patterns at work I would sometimes cut large canted staves and even segments that way. Not that often but it worked there as well. Spooky is pretty excited about it after I told him he is a star lol Take care, Gary

[@KuipersAdventures]

Really cool idea! Now to take it a step further and do this glue up dizzy bowl style!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Kuiper, for sure I have thought about doing a dizzy bowl using this cutting method. But I will want to make a cross slide I can use on my wood lathe. But that would be a standard dizzy bowl. A dizzy bowl with a twist might be very interesting. Thanks for watching, Gary

Amazing turn. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Ken and thanks for watching. Gary

We might both be handsome devils and the same age and all, but your mind just works differently than mine does. I have a hard time fitting a toothpick into my pocket and you just layout the most complicated puzzles and slip them together like nothing! Another fantastic segment turning, my friend! You keep making them and I'll keep watching. Congrats and well done, Gary! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Well you know Phil I was just thinking this morning that could have been twins. About the same age, handsome...and Devils LOL So I am just finishing a piece of the Olive wood and was going to say I wish I was on a game show and had a call Phil option. Man this one was a bear! But I bet you will love it. Thanks for watching and making me laugh. Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@ThePapa1947 Yup, the 1947 Twins of the Year! LOL! I understand, that Olive is some hard wood and probably lots of voids and crazy edges. But, it's so worth the effort. I'm sure yours will be spectacular!

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Old and handsome? Okay, I'm a few months younger than you two but... I think I'll have to try a turning like this. With no CNC, I'll try it using a pattern bit on my router. One more challenge for my to-do list.

[@rayworstine4399]

Phil, I agree with your comments.

[@KennettBTurned]

Holy moly! What a beautiful bowl. But a bowl full of math too 🤣. Very nicely done!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much, good thing I love that type of math LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MsrKSDisque]

Dude! This is crazy cool. I love it!
