Reasons to try segmented turning?

Create interesting and complex color patterns

using natural color woods

More affordable use of exotics

No hollowing

Forms that are not easy to accomplish from

single piece of wood No end grain tear-out

Reasons you might avoid Segmenting?

Projects are not a Saturday afternoon job.

Cant use found wood (Easily)

Lots of time away from the lathe

Requires a little bit of math and planning

You might need a few more tools (But is thatreally a problem!)

Chop Saw

Table Saw
