Welcome to the website of the Segmented Woodturners, a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners that was formed in 2009. Our on-line chapter is dedicated to segmenting education and the sharing of information between its 500 members. We are always striving to remain the premier international organization advancing both the art and craft of segmented woodturning for all skill levels from beginner to studio artist and we have a good mix of experience levels. Our mission is to provide a 1st class website, a forum for asking questions and sharing information, and a gallery of members artwork with an archive of 1000’s of pieces and growing to inspire you. You can learn more about what the chapter has to offer by visiting the “About” page at the top of the screen. I hope you will take advantage of our free 3 day trial so you can see our content. If you like what you see, please join our community. Everyone is welcome.

1. Save the date - 8th Segmenting symposium will be held on September 26-28, 2025 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Northbrook, Illinois. Demonstrators will be announced later this year.
2. The September Technical Bulletin was released 9/15/24. It is on Photo Tips. Members can find it in Resources under the SWT Club/News/Technical Guides Category.
3. The Segmented Chapter's September challenge was to make an N-generation lamination. If you are not familiar with that terminology, a first-generation lamination is a zig-zag. The challenge ended with many great entries. Wayne Miller won the blind drawing for a gift certificate.
4. Speaking of Wayne - He has graciously stepped up to run the 2024 Holiday Exchange. The process for signing up and doing the exchange was recently posted in the forum. Continue to watch the forum for updates and more details regarding the exchange. Pairings will be announced on November 4.
