Clicking on one of the thumbnail images below will load that bowl's page, which contains a larger image of the bowl, and in most cases, a description of the bowl telling how big it is, what species of woods were used in its construction, and how many pieces it contains. In a few cases, that page will contain a thumbnail of a bowl of the same (or very similar) design from a different selection of species. See also my shop at segmental.ETSY.com , where some of my work is available for purchase via PayPal.

The bowls below are not patterns that I'm making anymore, generally. There's nothing wrong with them, for the most part, except that I now have a lot more experience with design, construction, and turning, so these pieces are rather dated looking. Not bad. Just dated.

Segmented Woodturning Article: Building and Turning a Segmented Bowl: The "Brick Bowl"


Woodturning is my main activity these days. I realized, just recently, that this paragraph still claimed it was a leisure activity, but that isn't really true, any longer. I've been turning full-time professionally since August of 1999. I'm to the point where the kind of turning you see here is something I do fairly well, which is fortunate, all things considered. It is my hope that over the next few years I can become more versatile with alternate methods of lamination, construction techniques leading to curved patterns, forms which incorporate intentional voids, and anything else I can think of along these lines which makes me more versatile as a turner and which makes my works more interesting.
