WELCOME to Kevin's Woodturnings !
The
woodturnings found in this website are constructed using segmented
design. Segmented woodturnings are constructed from two pieces to
several hundred pieces of wood glued together in interesting patterns.
The outside patterns usually go completely through the woodturning. The
wood is all naturally colored except for a
couple noted examples. I use mostly highly figured domestic wood, like
maple and ash burls, and combine with exotic wood, like bloodwood
and ziricote. Some of my woodurnings are made from solid wood burls
inset with turquoise stone chips with exotic wood rims and bases. To

Miscellaneous
pages.
The
photos
below are from my Segmented
Ring Maker app. I wrote the app for my
iPhone so I could do segment calculations on the fly in my studio. It
is a very simple to use app. The app works in all smart phones and
Windows and Mac computers that have internet access. The Segmented Ring
Maker
app calculates cutting angles and segment dimensions for all the
different types of miters: frame (flat), stave, compound miter and open
segment. If you use an iPhone or iPad you can add the app to your Home
Screen and use the app without internet access. For more information Click Here to go to my Segmented Ring Maker
page.

All woodturnings shown on this website are "one of a kind" and may be sold at any time. Similar pieces can be made on a commission basis but will never be exactly the same due to differences in the wood.
Fellow woodturners might be interested in some of the other pages on my website (click the links or use the above Menu): No Math Method and a PC Method are instruction pages about designing segmented bowls. Basic Frame Miter and Compound Miter are instruction pages showing the photo sequence of construction steps for making two types of segmented bowls. Frame Miter Sled and Compound Miter Sled are plans for constructing accurate ring-segment cutting sleds for a table saw. Tools and Jigs shows several interesting home-made tools I use in my studio. Links page has links to websites of other segmented woodturners as well as tool and information websites that I recommend.
My name is Kevin Neelley and I live in Lenexa, Kansas. I am a member of the Kansas City Woodturners Association, which is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. I am also a member of the Segmented Woodturners internet group. I have made nearly seven hundred woodturned bowls, vases, platters and other objects in the twenty-five years as a woodturner.
