Segmented Salad Bowl

This a beautiful piece. You do very nice work. Do you laminate the segments together yourself? New to turning myself and it is very addictive and fun to work on.

Again great work.

nice looking bowl Bill the colors look great together.

Sgtsprout,

Each segment is compound mitered to fit into and form a ring of the bowl. I do all my own cutting – wood comes into the shop as 13/16” boards. Each segment of a ring is typically cut to the same shape. I glue them together into half circles and then put the two halves together after dressing up the end surfaces to give a good glue line and so the two halves form a good circle. I face the bottom and top surfaces on the lathe to give good gluing surfaces before the rings are glued together.

I hope that helps visualize the process.
