This bowl was made by cutting a sliding dovetail in two flat pieces of wood, gluing them together and cutting them with a scroll saw. There are eight segmented stacks that were cut, glued and sanded.
This bowl was made using a scroll saw to cut segments, glue, sand and finish them. The design is my own free-hand drawing on a piece of poplar. After cutting a segment, I used that to get the outline of the next segment. Sanding on this bowl was tricky and took a lot of time.
This bowl is made from Aspen using a scroll saw. The flare design required making a double cut at two different angles with the scroll saw. I used geometry to get the angle I wanted.
This bowl was made from Aspen and Tigerwood. This unusual design was created by cutting and gluing a wedge of Tigerwood to Aspen. You can see the 'eye of the Tiger' (I think a knot) in the base. I cut this using a scroll saw. There are five segments to this bowl.

Any suggestions on a good book or DVD to buy to study on technique...
