    Bowl from a Board Cutting

    Hello, All

    If you do much bowl from a board (BfB) work, I'd love to learn more from you. I'm talking about the technique where you cut rings out of a board and re-assemble them into a dish or bowl. What method works best for you for cutting rings? I have made half-rings on a band saw, and cut full rings on the lathe using parting tools of various descriptions. The wide flat thin type of parting tool seems to work best for me but they get hot. Also, if you cut half-rings on a band saw, do you cut them freehand or do you have a jig for cutting half rings?

    EDIT: I see my subject line is confusing some folks. I'm not asking about a "cutting board" as in a kitchen implement, I'm asking about how to cut the rings to make a BfB construction.
