 10 SEGMENTED BOWL UNO During the summer of 2021, I saw an article in Woodworker's Journal about making segmented bowls. I decided to give it a try. Here is "Bowl Uno". It was so much fun that I searched the web for more information and bought a few books. |
 11 Thunderbird Bowl After learning how to make "feature rings", I made this thunderbird bowl using maple and mahogany. |
 12 Tornado Bowl Another segmented bowl called a "Tornado Bowl" because the wood colors spiral around. Uses Maple, Walnut, and Mahogany. |
