Listing image #817176
A unique one-off segmented* Hard Beech and Kwila bowl by designer/woodturner Terry Byrne. It measures 100mm tall and 240mm wide. This bowl has been designed to be both functional and a piece of decorative artwork.

*What is segmented woodturning? The simplest definition of segmented woodturning is little pieces of wood put together to make a blank to create big things.

In traditional woodturning, the blank (the wood piece mounted on the lathe for turning) is a single piece of wood. Size, grain, colours, and character of the wood will usually determine what it can be made into.

In segmented woodturning the blank is made of many small pieces of wood put together into a chosen design. The height, width and angle of each small piece of wood required – down to a tenth of a degree – must be calculated precisely. Each piece is then cut and hand sanded for creation of the blank. Segmented woodturning means size, patterns and woods are limited only by imagination, skill, and patience.

The most common form of creating a segmented turning blank is stacked ring construction. The more individual pieces in a ring, the greater demand for precision because there are more opportunities for errors—gaps and misalignments in the joints between pieces, adding to the complexity and challenge for the woodturner.

Care
Keep out of direct sunlight. A gentle wipe with a furniture oilcloth will remove any dust or fingerprints, for anything more use a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
