If you mean making wood look like a ribbon, you would have to see Frank Sudol's piece that looks like a bunch of ribbons blowing up in the wind. Spectacular piece.
If you mean throwing shavings that look like ribbons it's just a matter of using green wood a good sharp bowl gouge and cutting in the proper direction.
