Twenty Four Segment Board To Bowl

[W.Y.]

This is the bowl made from the 24 segment board I cut and glued up yesterday . Anything with a checker pattern seems to sell real good for me so I would imagine this one will get snapped up for seventy nine bucks real quick at my next craft sale this coming Saturday .

Beautiful piece..

Is that cut and stacked from the one piece in the first picture, or six segmented disks stacked?



*Edit* -- Did some internet searching and found my answer.

Is that cut and stacked form the one piece in the first picture, or six segmented disks stacked?

Yes , cut at the correct angle and stacked from one piece like in the first picture .
Same thing could be done cutting out 144 small segments divided into six rings and stacking them and would take a lot longer.
This one only required 24 larger segments to form a flat board .
I have less than two hours in that bowl not counting glue drying time .

$79 seems to inexpensive for all that quality work.

Ok.. I am confused about how you made it.. you cut the segments.. glued them together.. I get that.. but then how did you get rings to stack on top of each other? Are you using a ringmaster or one of those type of tools?

Thanks Jim but that is the way it is when my craft sales are just in small villages and towns. Very often my customers tell me I could easily add a one ahead of my prices and get it in big cities but the closest big city to me is Calgary , Alberta which is a 6.5 hour drive each way.
But I am happy with the prices I get here because I sell so many of them . That bowl took less than two hours to make when not counting glue curing time .

That's right . The rings are cut with a Ringmaster .
Takes less than ten minutes to cut all the rings for that bowl and another ten minutes to glue them up . Then it is just a matter of sanding them. No lathe tools are used .
