New Bowl

[DWSudekum]

Here is my new bowl with a few work in progress pictures and the finished bowl.

As you can see in the picture above I used 3/4 in Poplar Plywood and 3/16 Clear Pine and cut strips that were 7/8 wide and 9 in. long.  I decided that the blank was incomplete so I marked halfway on each side and connected the marks.  I cut the corners off and added a 1/4 inch thick padauk strip on each side.  I decided on a simple round bowl cut at 29 degrees left side down.

I have reposted the pictures using an alternative hosting for the images as aparently ImageShack still is infected.  Sorry about that

The extra stripe looks awesome! Great job. I have done a few baskets, but haven't tried a bowl yet, I may have to do that one of these days.

***WARNING***

I had to remove the pictures/links to the bowl do to the AV8 virus. It tried to attack my computer when I tried to view them, but my anti-virus stopped it. I have also had reports from others who have had the same problem. Once again make sure you check you computer if you viewed the photos.

Is there a trick to knowing the angle of cut, compaired to the width of the rings and thickness of the wood?

Very nice.  The stripe gives the bowl a special, unique look.

Is there a trick to knowing the angle of cut, compaired to the width of the rings and thickness of the wood?

There is a formula to find the exact angle you need so that the ring is the same thickness top to bottom.  The formula is straight out of Trig.  Set your computer's calculator to scientific so that you have the trig functions available.

Take the Inverse Tangent of the answer of( ring width / board thickness ) this will give you the angle.

So for instance

a board you want to use is 3/4 in. thick ( .75 ) and the rings you want to cut are 3/8 in. thick (.375) then you would divide .375 / .75 and that gives you an answer of .5  Take the inverse tangent of .5 and the angle you would need to cut is 26.56 degrees.  Since most of us can not measure degrees that closely,  27 degrees works out just fine.  To get the inverse tangent on the calculator locate the INV button then then the TAN-1 button.

hope this helps

AWWW! And they said there would be no math!  Seriously DW that bowl is awesome and I think you should consider submitting an article to the scroll saw mags with step by step instructions. I have lots of strip wood and would dearly love to make one of those.
