Nice bowl. Great design and wood choices. Love that finish.

Keep it up.

Beautiful bowl Ronald. I have also made a couple of these, but with only one wood color just to try it out. They don’t hold a candle to yours with all those great wood colors. The different colors you chose really look great together.

The colors are dazzling! Good job!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

These wood choices are excellent. I was noticing how much more it gave to it by the thin light accents between the vibrant colors. Great job, Ronald.

when you say band saw bowl ?
are they made on the band saw or are the blanks all cut at the band saw and then turned on the lathe ?

Hi Ronald,
Can you explain the process of why they are called bandsaw bowls? They are very unique. Looks like something I’d like to try.

To make a bowl you need two pieces of wood that add up to be a square. Let’s say 2 8” x 4” boards, tape them together to form a square, find the center. Using a compass draw a circle to the outer edge, draw a smaller circle width equal to the thickness of the board, give or take, experiment for shape, continue till inner circle is approimately 3 1/2” diameter. Remove tape, separate boards, set bandsaw table at 45 degrees and cut along drawn half circles. Glue half circles into rings, stack rings smallest to largest, glue together then your bowl is ready to turn.

Really well done. Beautiful bowls

That is a beautiful bowl. Have you thought about a blog on how to make one?
