Segmented Ring Bowl

I think the outside looks pretty dang cool also. I am going to have to try that whenever I get back to the lathe. Thanks for sharing.

I’m going to have to give this one a shot as well. Great effect!

I likw the ring being off Center very cool!

Takes balls to cut into a finished bowl to Finnish it.
Looks cool.

So, did you clamp that to some kind of carrier to run along the band saw fence?

Cool looking bowl. I did a segmented bowl over 30 years ago. My mom has it. Seeing all the other segmented bowls here. I’m going to have to try anotherone.

Very nice. I have never seen that before.

Very cool looking bowl, you must have made a jig or stand to run that through the bandsaw, but what did
you use to get the surfaces smooth enough to glue the redheart ring to them, or is this a small diameter
bowl, not that that would make it any easier with all the smaller pieces. Very interesting project, now I
going to have to go play in the shop and scratch my head for while until I can figure it out. Thank you
for sharing.

I didn’t use any jig on the bandsaw, I was just really careful to get a straight cut. I then took the two pieces and sanded them flat before gluing them back together. One thing that I didn’t mention is that you don’t want to turn the bowl to the final thickness before you cut it apart. You can every slice it after the segments are glued, before you turn it at all.

Love it. Another idea I will steal (use as part of my research)

This is neat. Great job.

WOW!
