Do you specifically want plans for laminated pieces, or did you actually mean segmented pieces?

There's a significant difference, so I thought I'd check... :wink:

Woodturning Online's plans (http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/segmented_turning/index.html)

Kevin Neelley (http://www.turnedwood.com/) has some handy hints.

Malcolm Tibbett released this demo handout (http://www.woodturner.org/resources/Tibbetts%20Handout.pdf) for seg'd hollow forms. It makes for a very convenient reference sheet when planning a project. :)

http://segmenting.biz/ shows a few methods for details like chevrons, etc.

As for design SW, besides the planner already mentioned at segmentedturning.com, there's also WoodturnerPro (http://www.woodturnerpro.com/). Again, not free, but its a nice bit of kit.

A handy little calculator (that I use a lot ) is Joe Fisher's Segment Calculator (http://www.fisherwoodcraft.com/tips.php?TIP=calc)

And the list goes on and on... :wink:
