Segmented turning--turning an object from a glued-up
blank--allows turners to design and create patterns and visual
effects in turned pieces. In addition to design skills, segmented
turning demands precise woodworking and turning skills.
In "Segmented Turning," professional turner Dennis Keeling shows
step-by-step all the basic techniques for closed segmented, open
segmented, and ornamental segmented turning. He focuses on the
fundamentals of accuracy in the three types of construction, as
well as the equipment, tools, and materials used for those forms.
Keeling also showcases the work of seven other segmented turners,
discusses changing technology, and health and safety concerns of
working with wood in this way. Following the comprehensive
technique instruction are 10 projects that progress in difficulty,
from beginner to advanced.
At the end of the book, a gallery of inspirational segmented
designs provides inspiration.
.After opening with detailed sections on the scroll saw basics,
wood selection, safety, child-safe finishes, and more, a helpful
step-by-step tutorial will show you how to make a puzzle project
from start to finish. From there, be inspired by 56 high-quality,
full-size scroll saw patterns and make a collection of classic yet
one-of-a-kind wooden toys and puzzles, consisting of sloths,
koalas, unicorns, safari animals, and sea creatures
