I copied Robin Dustin design for stacking bowls. I made a change in how they are cut out by only gluing 7” wide by 14” long strips together. I then used the band saw to cut half rings following his plan. After cutting, glued the half rings together and stacked per the article in Vol 35 no 6 issue of American Woodtruner.

I think these are excellent. Love the look. What kinds of wood did you use for the ones in your photos?
Well, their is some fiss wood(fouind in shop storage), poplar, walnut, cherry, sycamore, oak, and maple. I don't buy wood, just use scrap that I have acquired over lots of years.
Thanks for reply.
Thanks for reply.
Thanks! And sure thing. I think they look excellent. I don't have a table saw yet, otherwise I'd give this a try myself. I love stuff like this.
Jon,
The band saw, or jig saw as Robin used is more important than a table saw. If you have any means to join 1 or more boards together and either saw mentioned, you can make these. -- assume you have a lathe of course.

I always figured that ripping was better done on a table saw (where you have a good fence and support and all that)? I also have aspirations of getting into fully segmented turning in the future, so there would be both ripping and cross-cutting with a sled to get all the angles right on each segment... I've only ever seen that kind of thing done on a table saw, so I kind of wrote off a band saw (at least until some time down the road).
