Segmented Bowl Making PowerPoint
Double click on the title above “segmented-bowl-making2″ to view the PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint was developed with the videos for presentations at woodworking guilds and high school woodworking shops. Now it is made available for self-study. The original PowerPoint had the videos hyperlinked in the presentation to better demonstrate this woodworking process. Now you can view the videos and PowerPoint on the HOW website. However, one-on-one instruction is available for a reasonable fee to those interested in hands-on instruction in my studio. Many thanks to my segmented bowl making mentor, the late Sonnie Sharrar, for his patience and guidance to many woodworkers in the Greater Kansas City area.
I suggest you print the powerpoint so that you can take notes while watching the videos. Please contact me via email if you have questions. Jay S. Helland
13: Turning Inside of bowl – Part 12
Filed under: Making a Segmented Bowl, Segmented Bowl Making, Video
This video shows the turning of the inside of a segmented bowl using a bowl gouge and round nose scraping chisel. It won’t take long for the woodworker to realize that the time consuming part of making segmented bowls is in the meticulous cutting, fitting and gluing process and not lathe time.

This short video demonstrates the method used to turn a tenon to fit up into the bowl body. The size of the mortise and tenon joint is dependent on the size of the bowl and the thickness of wood used to make the staves.

Filed under: Making a Segmented Bowl, Segmented Bowl Making, Video
This demo will show how to cut a mortise in the bowl bottom. The tenon will later be turned on the base to match the mortise. This process is critical to having a seamless joint between the bowl and the base.
