Decided to try and get some inlay worked in to the inside-out ornaments.  Trouble is the inlay would be best done on the diagonal of the segments and thus the ornament blanks.  I decided the best way to go about was to use the crosscut sled.  I took some 45 degree wedges and used double stick tape to hold them along the cut line.

 

 

I set the blade height cut the grooves in the pieces.  It is not necessary to cut through the pieces  Just deep enough to show in the largest outside diameter thus leaving the segment in one piece.

 

 

Size and glue in some pieces of contrasting wood.

 

 

Ran the segments through the saw to trim the inlay and cut the pieces in half.

 

 

Put the blanks together for the first turning.  The inlay needs to be pointing out so when it is turned around the inlay will go all the way to the center.  This is for the first turning.

 

 

Turn the shape for the inside and remember to leave the end corners sharp and untouched.  Then turn it around and turn the outside.  Put a finish on it and done.

 

 

 

 

That is a  neat detail and really "fancies up" those ornaments. Nice idea.
