I have never made a staved bowl, and will be making one (sorta) here soon using mahogany with maple dividers between the mahogany segments.
It's going to be actually a half-bowl (shaped like a D when viewed from above). Won't ever actually be turned on a lathe but rather finished like "flatwork".
It will be mounted to the wall with a very bright LED array installed in it (4 Cree XML driven at 1 amp). This will be mounted to the wall over my recliner, in between the two aquariums I have in my living room. My "man cave" if you will :biggrin:
The top of this "valence/sconce light" will be the same as the "bottom" of a bowl, and open for venting heat off of the LED's heatsink.
Anyhow, here is what I'm looking for, and this is by NO means a rigid design, it can change a little.
I just can't figure out the angles.
Number of staves (as if it were a whole bowl)-- 12 (will only be cutting 6)
Diameter of top of bowl--- 8"
Diameter of bottom of bowl-- 3"
Height of bowl-- 5"
Any help with the angles will be appreciated! Thanks!
