Segmented Bowl 108 by Mark Weigel

Mark Weigel was born in Regina in 1958 and grew up on a farm near Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. In 1979

he moved to Saskatoon and started a career in metal manufacturing that lasted until he retired in 2016.

Mark’s interest in woodworking began in his early twenties. He began by making cabinets and furniture.

When he retired, he began experimenting with differing wood types while creating one of a kind cutting

boards for family and friends. Later he purchased a lathe and began woodturning. His main focus is on

segmented woodturning of bowls, vases and lamps made from exotic woods such as Purpleheart,

Padauk, Mahogany, Yellowheart, and Koto. His creations began with items containing less than one

hundred pieces and have now grown to several thousands of pieces. These bowls have captured the

attention of many people
