Thanks Hazza, and Dave.

Dave, your effort in finding the segmented turning software is really appreciated - it does look as if it may be the answer. By the way, since I shall only be working on small items, I shall do some of the initial shaping on the Woodrat, with which I know you are very familiar!

Kind regards,

Andrew.

Thanks Hazza, I'll try that.

Hello Everyone. Can the experts please tell if me if the following is possible in SU:
I want (in real life) to make a number of blocks by laminating 3 or 4 small pieces of different-colored wood together, then turn them on a lathe using various axes through diagonal points to produce ornaments of various shapes. It would be nice to experiment in SU to see the effects of changing the thicknesses of the laminated pieces, the axes, and the colors of the wood.

Any suggestions as to how to this will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew.
