Customer Ratings:

Covering a technique popularized by master woodturner Ray Allen, this manual moves beyond basic woodturning with the segmented woodturning technique. This creative approach is demonstrated in one complete step-by-step project that effectively guides woodturners through the complicated process of creating geometric, repeating patterns with a Southwestern feel. Detailed, illustrated instructions make this seemingly elaborate technique approachable. Additional information on common problems helps avoid mistakes along the way. A full-color photograph gallery provides inspiration for future projects.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very inspiring
Comment: This very inspiring book is very detailed with beautiful photographs. Together with the book, I purchased: woodturning with Ray Allen(DVD).
I found that the DVD is the perfect complement as Ray Allen himself is shown working in his workshop, explaining his choice of wood, colors, and describing some of his techniques. The bowls are filmed as they turn, which gives an even better idea of beauty of this art and the quality of the artist. I can highly recommend both the book and the DVD.Woodturning with Ray Allen (DVD)

Customer Rating:
Summary: An inspirational and beautiful book on segmented woodturning
Comment: If you are interested in segmented woodturning it is pretty hard to go past this book. It was written on behalf Ray Allen by long time friend Dale Nish, and it's a sad fact to learn that Ray didn't live to see his book published. Ray should feel very proud wherever he is for this work, a full colour book all the way through with clear diagrams and pictures to assist you with that segmented woodturning challenge.

The first and second chapters are brief and consist of showing you Ray's commonly used tools and some explanations on segmented blueprints.

The third chapter gets into the meat of the subject with 29 pages showing a step by step, blow by blow process for cutting, sanding, gluing, shaping, turning and finally finishing a segmented bowl. Loads of pictures on every page will give a great idea of how to approach each step.

Chapter four has a beautiful gallery of over 50 full colour pages often with multiple bowls on each page that showcases Ray's art.

The fifth chapter has 11 projects of segmented bowls for you to try along with complete cutting lists of every ring.

And lastly the sixth chapter treats you to some of the more complex segmenting to achieve different patterns, such as bricks, spirals, flags and more

If you are looking to try segmented woodturning and need a place to start for instruction AND inspiration then you can't go wrong with this book. Good on you, Ray, and I hope you are enjoying yourself on the big lathe up in the sky.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty good, Great Photos and Designs.
Comment: This book is worthwhile if you are learning about how to do segmented turning or if the designs interest you. The instructions are clear but brief and show one master's methods.
The photos and designs are excellent making this not only a how-to book, but a nice photo book for the coffee table.

Not quite as in depth as the Malcolm Tibbetts book on segmented turning.
