Download or read book Segmented Turning written by Ron Hampton and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly demystifies one of the most spectacular woodturning techniques. Segmented work consists of glueing together numerous small pieces of contrasting timber before turning, to produce stunning geometrical or pictorial effects in the finished work. In addition to its visual qualities, it overcomes the problems of wood movement and splitting and allows the turner to make good use of scraps and offcuts which would otherwise be wasted.
