segmented ornaments
john lucas
I haven't had much time to turn lately but when I do it's been fun. I have a segmented project planned and haven't done any for a year or so. I needed some practice. these aren't the cleanest joints but it was fun trying. I cut 16 20 long staves and glued them together. Then sliced off pieces on the bandsaw and glued those up in various ways. I did these 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there over several days but finally got them all glued up so I could turn them.
I'm doing a demo for the Nashville club on turning ornaments and I plan to do 3 different styles. The first will be a single part ornament. Those are the light colored ones below. The second will be my 2 part ornaments that I learned from Bobby Clemons. Here are 2 of them. The last will be my typical 3 part hollow globe ornament. Doing all 3 in an hour and half will take some concentration but I think I can do it.
