I had a commission from somebody who wanted a 16" bowl. Blanks that size are pricey and not easy to come by. I went for a segmented approach and was pretty happy with the result.

Wow! That is so beautiful!
16"? Is that done the way I envisage it to be - laminating different pieces of cherry for 3 layers on a base that seems to have been a single piece? For a total of 4 layers, which is then turned on the lathe?
Must take some effort to turn that big, right?It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Jon, not sure how I missed this thread earlier - very nicely done! A new slippery slope in the segmenting subculture of woodturning...Bill in Buena ParkComment

Thanks Bill. I definitely want to try my hand at some basic segmented and laminated bowls/vessels. Sizing and squaring the segments seems to be one of the critical aspects. I think some form of disc sanding jig will need to be the order of the day. I have also discovered how inaccurate and inconsistent my SCMS is which is rather disappointing to say the least.Jon
