Wood Turning With A Feature Ring

This is my latest segmented turning. Made from Padauk and using Walnut and Yellow Birch for the feature ring. I gave it a stair step look rather than a standard chevron look.
It looks a little like a Hot Air Ballon
I finished it using sprayed on lacquer and abrasive paste and polish.
Finishes used:
Deft spray lacquer
Acks Abrasive Paste
Acks Polishing\Restoring Paste

I buy the stainless steel hose clamps in the plumbing department of Menards. I find these are much better quality than the hose clamps sold in the heating and air conditioning department. Nice bowl

[@ThePapa1947]

They have smaller stainless ones at Home Depot but I really like the larger ones. But I have some of the 6 inch as well. No Menards here in Oregon.

[@rogerjohnston9545]

Loved it, a first glue up is waiting for round two cutting and glue tomorrow.

Thank you Roger, how exciting I bet you are looking forward to it. I have another one glued up with two coats of finish on it and will finish it up soon. Thanks for watching, Gary

I'm a new subscriber, I don't usually care for a lot of talking in these videos, but you are very informative and have a pleasant voice. It's nice to have a good idea of what you're doing. And your projects are very beautiful.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Merrie. So many people want to learn more about how this is done. Only way I know how to do that is explain. I have asked a few people how they did something and was told figure it out yourself. I did figure it out then happily shared it here. They did plenty of talking and no explaining. So that is why I do what I do. Thanks for watching, Gary

You've done it again, Professor! You really explain your process so well, even I can understand it! I've never done a segmented piece but you make me want to try. If only I could get at my tablesaw! I love the way you laid out the stair step look. It gives the whole piece a great dimension. And your finish, wow! Just perfect! Very, very nice piece, Gary! You are proud of it and you should be! I really like it, great job, my friend! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Phil! The thing about segments is there is not all that much turning and nothing very technical. But the other thing is you know I love working these things out and this was a blast. What I was really proud of is it went together so smoothly. I was not sure doing the feature ring I have never done. It was a blast and I am happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

Thank you Jim. I know the first time I used Padauk I was shocked at how much it does bleed. This does solve the problem but you still need to be careful with the first 3 coats. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@davesullivan3289]

Love the little sled you built. Until now I have been cutting that angle on my chop saw - not the easiest thing to do. I'll build one of your sleds designs now and give that a try. Great idea. Thank you for that tip.

Thank you very much. I have done a few with a miter saw but the sled is so much easier and consistent. Thanks for watching, Gary

Outstanding Gary.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Mark! Take care, Gary

[@marklengal9990]

Gary. Quick question. I’ve been shopping for a quality table saw so I can learn segments. Is there any reason I can’t use my band saw? Went to woodcraft today and them sawstops are big money

[@ThePapa1947]

@@marklengal9990 Hi Mark, with the right blade you should be able to use a band8-saw. Something with 8 tpi would be good and also wide.1/2 to 5/8. Not sure how big your band saw is but much bigger than 5/8 is a bit big for a 14 inch band saw. I cut segments for years on a 1950 Craftsman 10 inch construction model. About 5 years I bought a 3hp Grizzly cabinet model at a garage sale for a great price. I also bought the Craftsman at a garage sale in 1974. So the point is you can find a decent saw used. Make sure it is belt drive and 10". Cast iron is a must for me. Hope that helps, Gary

[@rodneypeterson4106]

Thank you Carol, happy you liked it. Happy you found something that will help with your glue ups. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@sanctuaryjunction8413]

Really enjoyed the video. I have only made a segmented chalice which was fun. I cut my segments on a similar jig on my small band saw but I like your method much more, the Table saw has more room and better visibility at the cut. Alan UK.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much. I know a lot of people cut them on the bandsaw and it seems to work. I would think a real wide place would be good. Such as 5/8 or 3/4 and a fine tooth? Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary

Very beautiful. The staggered chevron pattern is unique and very eye appealing. I would like either pattern in standard matching or staggered. Someone who was purchasing this may likes something that is different bringing a possible higher sale point. Just my ¢.02 worth.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dan and I agree. Something different always catches my eye. Case in point in 2003 I was shopping for a new truck to pull a heavy travel trailer. I looked at most and when I looked at the new Dodge Ram I thought it was ugly it was so different. A few weeks later I looked at it again and I really looked it over realizing that I liked that look. I still have the truck and it still looks great to me. Thanks for watching and you 2 cents worth, Gary

[@guyweech5408]

The piece is beautiful, i would suggest a light grey to white background and light through a transparent medium such as velluem paper.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Guy. I have tried a number of backgrounds including white. My shop is setup for wood turning and working and I have LED lights which seem to be hard to work with. Plus not really having a spot to the photos I would like to be able to. How would you setup the velluem paper and what light source would you use behind it? And would the LED lights cause and issue? I certainly could get a light grey back ground but thought what I had was fairly light. Thanks for the tips as I am always trying to improve on the photos. Gary
