DOUBLE LAYERED BOWL WITH REVERSED DOTS

Sam, you just outdid yourself on this one. It is a real eye catcher. I like the concept and use it a bit for rings on a much simpler scale. I will have to try this . I like the results!! Thanks for sharing…................Jim

One question on the process. Did you bore and plug each segment with the opposite colored wood before the layup or drill it after the basic shape was turned?

Jim, I used 16mm flat drilling bit and 16 mm plug cutter using some offcut timber and inserted the plugs before final turning of inner and outer layers separarely, so they ( the plugs) took the final shape of each layer. Note: each layer has different dot or hole locations.

Wow Sam, you are a real craftsman. I can see it now, next time we’ll see you turn bowls with segmented outsides and a natural edge inside or something like that. Or maybe one segmented pattern inside and a completely different pattern outside. Keep up the challenges. You inspire us all.

Your challenging yourself has taken playing in the shop to a new level. Most of us like to play in the shop, to
me it is a hobby and lets me do what I want to do safely and enjoyably, I like the way you admit that you
turned bowls that you may never use, but that you enjoyed every minute of both bowls. Please keep sharing
your personal challenges, they give us something to enjoy and inspire us to attempt to extend our abilities.
Needless to say I like and admire your work.

You never cease to amaze Sam. Well done.
