These are layered bowls, ala Jim MacPhail. I gave a couple of these as Christmas gifts and still haven't caught up with the requests that spun off from those....good thing they're easy. :p

Lee, excellent use of scrap materials; very nicely done! I enjoy doing glueups like this. I think yours are particularly nice, pleasing. Jude

[Lee DeRaud]

(this five-attachments-per-post limit is a pain...)

Got to the point I was doing double-sized glue-ups to save time...

Very, Very nice pieces. I like them all. Great contrasting woods with a clean style and shape.:)

[Mark Pruitt]

Lee, you've really been tearing it up! Those are all awesome.

[David Little]

Absolutely beautiful work. I really like the wide variety of forms that you gave them.

[Jim Becker]

All very nice...I think I like number three in the first batch and three and four in the second batch the best for some reason.

[Mike Vickery]

I am getting tired of saying it Lee, just beautiful.

Number two in the first batch and three and four in the second really stand out to me.

[John Chandler]

Those are all very beautiful pieces. I can see why you've received so many requests for more.

[Shane Whitlock]

Fantastic .. I like every one of them. Great job!

[Marc Martindale]

Lee these bowls are excellent!

I was kicking a layered bowl design around in my head, but don't really know how to go about it. You mentioned Jim Macphail, I searched for him and layered bowls but came up blank. Do you have a website that could get me started?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Lee! I can understand why they are in such demand! Hard to pick out a favorite - seriously nice work!

[Marc Martindale]

Thanks Lee, just what I needed.

[Bob Hallowell]

Lee,
They are all great I will have to try some of those with my scraps!

[Rich Chilcot]

Lee,

Thanks for sharing. The are absolutely beautiful. While I doubt my skill will match yours, this method will certainly help whittle down my scrap pile.

[Ed Scolforo]

Lee, they're all great! Good work!

[Martin Shupe]

Beautiful work, Lee!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful bowls Lee. All are excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice work Lee, nice to see you post again.

[Dan Gill]

They're all beautiful, but the second one (Canary, peruvian walnut, and spalted maple, 4-1/2"x1-3/4") is by far my favorite. I don't think I can tell you why, but the shape and the contrasts appeal to me the most.

[Dennis Peacock]

Beautiful Lee.!!!

Hey....what you really should do? Send my your scrap bin and let me see if I can empty it for you. :p :D

[Richard Madison]

Ditto what they said! Don't you just hate it when the other guy's scraps are lots better than your best stuff?

[Jonathon Spafford]

Dunno how I missed these... this is some awesome work! Really lovely pieces! You sure did a fine job... from the wood selection to the shapes to the finishes... perfect!

[Jeffrey Fusaro]

nice work, lee.

your last batch of work is impressive.

thanks for sharing the techniques used to laser cut and assemble the rings. that was awesome. wish i had a laser. maybe a scroll saw will be worth considering, though...

i've been impressed with the some of the segmented work that others have shown, but in my opinion, your layered bowls are more elegant - especially when altering dark and light woods and thin and thick layers.

all are very well done. i can see why they are popular requests.

so... when are you going to start selling pre-cut ring kits for the rest of peasants that don't have a laser? ;)
