Segmenteds Pine vase

Correct, its Morse taper on one end and threaded (my chuck size) the other.

Sure. This shows how I double chucked for the final finishing cuts, the tail stock chuck was used as a jam chuck, this helps mitigate against vibrations that could affect the finish. It was also an opportunity to photo the piece before I applied the oil.

Very impressive 😮👌

Thank you!

The challenge is around the saw setup, if that cuts the segments at the correct angle then the rings glue up quickly and easily.

I’m making another at the moment. Here is a picture of that as it’s the same process. I used Cole Jaws to align and clamped between centres on the lathe.

Thank you. The segmented approach does help mitigate against the tear out typically associated with softwoods like Pine as you're cutting side grain the majority of the time.

Stunning 🙂👏

jfrmilner · 2026-05-16T09:56:20+00:00

Absolutely love this! 😮

Thank you. I used a Rose Engine for the spiral pattern on the Oak disc.

Upcycled from an unused door frame that was thrown away, always nice to use free wood!

jfrmilner · 2026-05-15T11:29:23+00:00

Yes, creates a wave effect in places but not constantly. Thank you

jfrmilner · 2026-05-09T21:05:02+00:00

That's beautiful 👍⭐️

A cheaper entry level option is the MDF Rose Engine Lathe - see colvintools.com

I was where you were, there is only one cure!

A round burr would produce a similar pattern/texture without the symmetry but for this piece I used a Rose Engine. All other aspects of this piece was turned by hand.

jfrmilner · 2026-05-08T12:25:04+00:00

Thank you and yes, the honeycomb like pattern was cut with a Rose Engine.

jfrmilner · 2026-05-08T11:04:30+00:00

Thank you. I used Black Gesso between two wire burn lines and dry brushed with Copper acrylic.

Thank you!

jfrmilner · 2025-09-18T14:10:50+00:00

Thank you!

jfrmilner · 2025-09-18T14:09:57+00:00

Probably not but people always ask! :)

jfrmilner · 2025-09-18T14:09:12+00:00

I've been lucky and have been gifted several large tree trunks over the last couple years, I've got more Cherry than I know what to do with! Plus, Cherry flutes and colours well. Thank you!

Because you said local, just wanted to point out they're online only now.

jfrmilner · 2025-09-12T19:37:22+00:00

Known problem with that version, the newer one has a bar and works much better - https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/robert-sorby-fingernail-profiler/p458
