Woodturning Segmented Dual Profile Vase
In case of this video not playing correctly here, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.
A vase can be pretty. However, these vases are more dynamic. As you look at them the vase has two profiles: a typical outer profile and an inner profile.
I started with eight segmented rings of walnut and nine segmented rings of maple. Each ring has eight segments. Each of these rings was sawn into three rings. In addition, I made top and bottom rings for each vase. Total segment count is 424 segments.
The thinner walnut rings were stacked onto a mandrel and turned for the outer profile. The thinner maple rings were similarly turned for the inner profile.
Then alternating rings were glued to top and bottom rings to form the vase. Therefore, this process yields two similar vases. Final finish is walnut oil.
Please see my video on splitting segmented rings.

Enjoy!
Great looking vase. It gives me ideas for my next turning. Have a great day and keep up the good work.
