Segmented turning, also known as polychromatic turning, is a form of woodturning on a lathe where the initial workpiece is composed of multiple parts glued together. The process involves gluing several pieces of wood to create patterns and visual effects in turned projects.
bowl gouge – a deep fluted gouge used to turn the outside and inside of bowls and vessels. Often has a thicker shaft and longer handle than a spindle gouge because it has to cut farther away from the tool rest and deal with the forces of turning a large bowl. Sometimes called 'long and strong' gouge. [22]
Both his grandfather, George William Lailey (1782–1871) [1] and his father William (1847–1912) were also bowl-turners, specialising in the production of bowls and plates from elm wood using a pole lathe. [2] George Lailey was particularly noted for his exceptional skill of turning bowls in a 'nest', one inside another. [3]
Raffan was a part of the "art turning" movement that saw turned objects move into galleries where they are presented as works of art. [2] Although he has created large and valuable works of exotic woods, in his books he has also championed simple utilitarian works created for daily use.
Bob Stocksdale (1913 – January 6, 2003) [1] [2] was an American woodturner, known for his bowls formed from rare and exotic woods. He was raised on his family farm [ 2 ] and enjoyed working with tools.
Ornamental turning is believed to have originated in Bavaria in the latter part of the 15th century when it consisted mostly of rose-work, being done by using a cam or template (called a rosette) mounted on the lathe spindle and allowing the headstock to rock under tension of a spring or weight, to follow the contour on the edge of the rosette: also the spindle was allowed to slide to and fro ...
The turning processes are typically carried out on a lathe, considered to be the oldest of machine tools, and can be of different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. Those types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpieces.
Facing on a lathe (perpendicular to the axis of rotation), which is commonly used in turning and boring operations. Other operations remove material in ways similar to facing, for example, planing, shaping, and grinding, but these processes are not labeled by the term "facing."
