I'm very excited about this idea. Have been trying to figure out how to take some of the work out of finishing scrolled bowls and finally arrived at this.
This is a 9 1/2 inch diameter maple bowl which I cut out, glued together, and now have it on the lathe for finishing.
This is not a new idea. There are many segmented turners out there.
Project is not completed, but very pleased with how symmetrical the bowl is turning out. Since I starting with glued up rings, and not hollowing out the bowl, there is much less material to remove. Interior is far from finished, but thought I would share the idea.
