Read More...This video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. But you’re already here. Preparing for this year’s Christmas Ornament Challenge, this hand bell was inspired by a presentation by Robin Costelle at the Segmented Woodturning Symposium.

It looks simple but figuring out how to embed a magnet and still have enough magnetic force was a brain teaser. The bowl is walnut finished with friction polish. It uses a segmented approach with four rings of twelve […]
Read More...Also may be viewed on YouTube. Leftover Time! I’ve accumulated some segment rings leftovers from previous projects. Most are from my Crazy Droopy bowl that have a taper on the rings. Rather than make new rings, I’ll make these into this project. The first two rings are flat and not very tall. These will make […]
