I have made my first dozen segmented bowls, over the course of last winter and this spring, and I am enjoying the tremendous variety of woods , tools, jigs etc involved in these projects. I live in Ontario, Canada, and have access to some great hardwoods. I bought 3 books on segmented turning (by Don Jovag ,Dennis keeling and Dale Nish ) and they are providing me with the most excellent projects. I am looking forward to browsing and contributing whenever possible.
