I thought of a new way to cut the segments for a segmented bowl and thought I would share it with you.
For starters, I'll warn you the a table saw with a very accurate miter gauge is REQUIRED and even then, some practice cuts are necessary. Fifteen degrees is not a real common angle for most of us but, in order to get 30 degrees for the segments it is a MUST!
Hope you enjoy my "new way" of getting started. I like it because it doesn't need much wood and wood is a problem for all of us.

( I had an "IDEA" that didn't work on this one) But, as I always say "I'll do anything twice!" so, the finished product is my second try at the procedure. (I intend to try my "IDEA" again too.
