This video describes the production of this unique South West Pattern Woodturning. Trapezoid shaped wedges of Yellow Heart wood were cut on the band saw using the Accu-Wedge system on the band saw by tilting the band saw table to 110 degrees. These were then glued into a segmented disc with thin padauk spacers between each of the wedges. The trapezoid shaped segmented disc was subsequently sliced again on the band saw to produce 0.120" thin segmented discs. The order of these disc was reversed to create this unique pattern. Finally additional segmented discs were produced to complete the design of this bowl. A curly maple segmented disc was made for the top rim of the bowl and a segmented feature ring from a previous video was used as the center piece in the bottom of the bowl.
