Scotty, beautiful bowl. I'm curious about the burner you used for the signature. Is it electric or propane heated one?

how can you be sure that you are cutting the correct angle on your saw? i got one saw like you, but dont know how the cut the pieces so precise like you are doing.
Very beatiful bowl!!!

how did you work out the angle and sizes needed for each block?

I do a drawing to scale of the side profile of the bowl. From that drawing I can see the outside and inside diameter of each "block" or layer. I then draw the "block" or layer from the top( two circles) Then I draw the segments around the outside of the larger circle, and inside the smaller circle. Then you simply just measure the width and length of each segment. All this can be done by hand. It is much quicker with drafting software. I use autocad

im assuming youre using dry wood. do you know anything about segmenting wet wood? im assuming that the different drying times would mess it up. any advice? thanks.

All the wood i am using is kiln dried. I have not heard of segmenting wet wood. My advice is dry wood. It takes alot of time to prepare a blank, hours before you even get to the lathe. Don't take any chances.

Beautiful Bowl Scotty, where did you get that branding iron?
crsereda 2 years ago
The branding iron came from Lee Valley. Mine has the be heated with a torche or the stove. I would suggest the plug in one if your interested. Beware that surface must be absolutly flat or it wont work properly.
