Neat.
Those look really nice.
I really like the look of the walnut strips between the chevron(s).

the chevron one is striking & eye catching. This process is great for saving material. People make many ways, scroll saw, bandsaw in 1/2’s on a lathe, etc. All work great & make great projects. Thanks for sharing these

Thanks for the comments.
Steve, I believe I first saw the stripes between the chevrons with your “feathers” board. Thank you SPalm.

Beautiful, just learning how to make these. Any tips or pointers?
thanks

jomem:
Make sure you have tight glue joints when you make the flat blank (cutting board). I have had a few bowls fly off the lathe and hit concrete without any breakage.
On the above bowls all rings were glued together at one time. I now glue on one ring at a time using a bowl press with much better alignment. If you don’t have a bowl press I can get some pics of mine for you. A bowl press helps with a patterned bowl. It is not as necessary with a plain/simple bowl.

If you have any other questions I would be happy to help get you started.

Scott, i would love to see some pics of your bowl press. Also, do you use a jig to glue up the final set with the chevron pattern?
