Project Information

Wood And Materials Used
Cherry, Maple
Tools Used
Table Saw, Wedgie Sled, Lathe


This is the bonus item that i included with the main item for the Swap. Created by gluing thin strips of Maple to each side of a piece of Cherry, (half of the strips milled up). Cut the wedges with the wedgie sled and added smaller pieces of Maple to create a verticle joint. All of the rings were clamped using hose clamps, before gluing the rings together they were sanded flat on each side.



Chucked up in the lathe, worked the outside followed up on the inside. Finished with Danish Oil followed with Howard's Feed and Wax, then buffed. Once off the lathe I cut the little feet in the bottom with chisels, files and sanded, then applied finish.


Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome and appreciated.

That many segmented pieces, does to extra time. I understand this is one of your first segmented turning projects. Well done. Also thanks for hosting the "Segmented turning swap 2023".

Thanks WoodenDreams. The Swap was fun and challenging. That little cup ended up having a little larger diameter than the plan, I did not figure the size of the of the thin verticals in the rings, so I had to recut the base. Overall, I like the outcome. The Cherry should darken up over time.

Well done Eric. Neat design whose contrast will improve with time. Segmenters are always turning side grain. No end grain for us.

Thanks Socrbent. I was pleased with the turning, and true side grain is so much easier.
