@TheJNewman Soooo? why don't you post some vid or pictures?

[archturn]

Very creative. Would have been nice to see how you cut the door

[MrLeonard55]

What did you use to cut the doors into it? They look seemless.

[MrLeonard55]

Pretty cool.

I think this is an incredibly dangerous way to rough out a segmented turning . Cutting the outside of the segments round on a bandsaw does not take that long. I often turn segmented pieces of wood up to 5 foot diameter and ALWAYS cut them round where they will be turned. Large turnings can be dangerous at the best of times without the added danger of a chainsaw at face level

Crazy cool.. I love it.. Great job and thanks for posting!

Love the work. I cannot stop thinking about the segments and how I will be building them. I am going to be turning much smaller pieces but it is fantastic to know that I don't have to find a bigger stump to make a bigger piece.
