After making the chicken bowls I wanted to add an accent ring to a bowl and not waste my little supply of black walnut so I figured I'd just use my miter gauge to cut some segments and use that to make a circle. However they didnt' fit very well so I glued up 4 segments and hand sanding to get them flat  then glued them into a circle... not ideal.

 

Bowl parts ready for glue up.

 

Glue up of the parts... on the right is the first chicken bowl. Not happy with that it's just wrong.

 

The finished bowl... getting a bit better but not there yet.

Did a bit more finish work with sand paper

 

Finished

 

Not happy with the segments... a bit of research and I built a segment jig...

That is what one nice bowl!

Your segments worked well.  The bowl looks great.  There are ways to cut perfect wedges but the way you did it has been a proven method for a long time. 

Bowl looks great . Methinks he has it.

Most excellent JT. As always, THANKS, not only for the post but taking time to capture and share the details behind the process.

BTW, I think Woody wants his own bowl preferably filled with treats.

Woody is  a her... she's the third cat I found living in the wood pile hence the name Woody. Woody II when I took her to the vet to get spayed the vet said "you named a female cat woody?" I found her in the wood pile so makes sense to me...
