>One recent book on segmented turning is "Woodturning with Ray Allen" by Dale Nish (ISBN: 1-56523-217-8). Ray Allen was probably the best segmented woodturner of all time, and this book is a great source of inspiration. There is quite a bit of instructional material in this book.

Another new book on segmented turning will be out in late January. It is by Malcolm Tibbetts, see his website at http://www.tahoeturner.com/ It should be a great book, considering Malcolm's unique segmented turnings.

>To this point, I Have not seen any books that I would highly recommend on segmented turning. William Smiths book is good, if you want to do open segment turning. Ron Hampton's book is OK, but I was disappointed because it was too basic - but might be good if you are just starting out.

Curt Theobald is one of my idols. I have is second video, "Segmented Patterns", which is very good. I can only imagine that his first video, "Introduction to Segmented Turning", would be just as good for beginning turners.

I think that our own Russ Fairfield is working on a video as well.

One of the best resources on the web for segmented turning is Keven Neeley's site. WWW.Turnedwood.com.

Good luck and keep asking questions here.

We are all willing to help.
