Production of the Angled Segmented Bowl
These videos describe the production of Segmented Wood Bowls in which the 25 individual layers are angled at 1 degree per layer. The cutting of the segmented layers on the Accu-Slice system using the Offset Cam clamping fence is described. The bowl is turned on a 5 degree offset block to make it easier to turn on the lathe and also to enable the turning of a larger bowl. This is one of the most difficult pieces that I have turned on the lathe due to the layer angles and the thinness of the sides of the bowl. Several variations of the Angled Bowls are listed below.

The following three videos describe the operation of the Accu-Wedge which is used to accurately slice the segmented wedges on the band saw.
