That is really effective use of scraps and a lovely bowl with a super finish. Might I ask what the finish is?

Finish is shellac as sanding sealer and three coats of gloss lacquer .

Here is the board I glued up yesterday to make the bowl .

How did you get that bowl from that one board? Please do explain. I'm lost.

Using a Ringmaster Lathe and a few other tools . Sorry I don'y have time to post the whole procedure here because I an going on holidays in a couple days . But I have the largest RM Lathe Turning forum in the world on this type of wood art with tutorials and videos . It is one of the many boards on various types of woodworking in my Woodworking Friends Site .
Started a glue up for another one of my Dizzy Bowls and will finish making it when I get back because they are selling well for over $100.00 each .
The one shown in this topic is only $79.00 and waiting for a reply from someone that wants to buy it .

Thanks for the comments .

I sold that one today at a little afternoon church sale in town for $89.00. It was a part of my $629.00 take for the 3.5 hours I was there .
Out of the five "dizzy" bowls I have shown in previous threads , I only have one left so have to get busy and start another one .
The finish on that one was like glass and I had to tell the customer to treat it gently for about 48 hours. Lacquer dries fast but still has a little curing time to fully harden .

Ah, I see! It's an economy style bowl, correct?

The board is cut into rings at a bevel, and then stacked and glued. If you look closely, you can see the 'segments'.

Economy is right in being made from a flat board and sells 20 times easier and for a much higher price with all the different lamination and segmenting options compared to hogging all the wood off the outside and from the inside of a big block of wood ..
I have a comparison in my site where I cut a large burl in half and made a "hogged out" bowl from one half. From the other half I sliced it into eight slices on the band saw and made eight bowls . None of them as pretty as my multi wood segmented or laminated ones but it was just to demonstrate a point on the two different methods .
