Segment Bowl

Dear site visitors, from the presented master class, you will learn how to independently make a segmented bowl of wood consisting of several species of wood. The bowl is unique and very unusual in appearance, which is very important in our difficult times.

This wooden bowl was made by the author from different types of wood: ash, purple heart, mahogany, walnut, that is, the colors and texture are completely different, and when combined into a single design, a unique beauty is obtained) The master took all the necessary materials essentially from rubbish and scraps, after previous work, so that the product is considered to be budget in manufacture, but expensive to sell because it is handmade, moreover, a unique design, as they say "waste to income"

The bowl consists of several layers of segmented wood, as well as solid wood, they are glued together using PVA glue for wood. The most difficult thing is to correctly cut the segments, so that in total they are 360 ​​degrees. First, a circle was drawn on paper with a compass, then an octagon is drawn, and only then the dimensions are transferred to the wood blanks.

The sawn and glued together segments are pulled together with a special belt and remain in this position for 24 hours, after which the workpieces are glued together with each other in a single structure and pulled together with clamps, the whole thing dries up for another 24 hours, after which processing on a wood lathe takes place.

And so, let's look at what exactly will be needed to make a segmented bowl.

Step-by-step process for creating a segmented bowl do it yourself.

First of all, the author prepared all the necessary tools and materials, so that in the process everything was at hand and nearby.We file segments from wood.We match and glue.Then we add the individual elements into a single structure, coat the layers with glue and tighten with clamps.Next, the center is marked to fix the workpiece.We begin to bore a wooden blank.Choose the inside.Grind with sandpaper.In the process of working on the bowl, several scratches formed, and in its lower part there are 4 holes and they must be carefully sealed. The surefire way to hide cracks, chips, holes in a tree is to cover up these places with special putty for wood. Such a putty can be made independently, namely, we take sawdust after grinding (sawdust must match the color of the surface for applying the plaster), pour it into a small container and add wood glue or PVA for wood and mix until a homogeneous consistency (semolina)) and seal the damaged composition with the resulting compound surface of the workpiece, after drying, grind with sandpaper. This putty will be no worse than the store)The finished product can be waxed and heated, soaked in linseed oil, or varnished to emphasize a beautiful and unique wood pattern.Here is such a wonderful bowl, the most important thing is that it’s simply from rubbish and waste after the previous work, “waste turned into income” The work was very difficult, but it’s worth it, despite the fact that this bowl can be put up for sale for a lot of money.
