Segmented Woodturners Post Open Segmenting Guide, Confirm Sept. 18-20, 2026 Symposium

Segmented Woodturners' February update announced two concrete moves for members: the February Technical Guide titled "Open Segmenting - more tips (holes)" has been posted to the chapter's membership resources, and the chapter confirmed the 8th Segmenting Symposium for Sept. 18-20, 2026. Both items appeared together in the chapter's monthly bulletin aimed at active members.

The February Technical Guide entry is listed under the chapter's membership resources section and carries the exact title "Open Segmenting - more tips (holes)". That title signals a continuation of the chapter's technical series; the guide was released as the February installment and is available to members through the resources portal the chapter maintains for paid members.

The symposium confirmation names the event specifically as the 8th Segmenting Symposium and sets the dates at Sept. 18-20, 2026. The announcement is the first formal date confirmation from the chapter for the 8th symposium cycle and gives members a fixed window to plan projects and travel around late-September activities.

Members who check the membership resources will find both the February Technical Guide posting and the symposium notice in the same update for February. The February update functions as both an instructional release and an organizational notice; the technical guide provides the monthly how-to content while the symposium confirmation signals the chapter's event calendar for the remainder of 2026.

As of March 2, 2026, the symposium is roughly six and a half months away from the announcement date, creating a practical timeline for segmented projects that require glue-ups and drying time. With the 8th Segmenting Symposium confirmed for mid-September, members who planned to enter symposium exhibits or present demonstrations now have a firm date to target for finishing segmented pieces and arranging travel.

The chapter's February update bundles the instructional and the administrative: the "Open Segmenting - more tips (holes)" guide is in the membership resources and the 8th Segmenting Symposium is scheduled for Sept. 18-20, 2026. Expect follow-up notices and registration details to appear through the chapter channels as the chapter prepares for the symposium date.
