Designed for easy assembly and turning, these bowl kits include all the wood materials needed to complete the projects including detailed instructions and a scaled template for turning. The techniques of segment and stave construction are explored and only a few basic shop tools are required.

The Anasazi bowl kit is a good introduction to segmented turning and is the easiest of our four kits to complete. This kit has pre-cut segments ready to glue up. (4" diameter, 4-1/2" tall)

The Pinstripe Bowl Kit is a little more challenging and introduces the staving technique in a contemporary bowl form. This kit has pre-cut segments ready to glue up. (4" diameter, 4" in. tall)

Southwestern forms provide the theme for the Pueblo Bowl Kit. This kit requires a bandsaw to cut segments. (7-1/2" diameter, 6" in. tall)

Southwestern forms provide the theme for the Chaco Bowl Kit. This kit requires a bandsaw to cut segments. (8" diameter, 7-1/4" in. tall)

Our design instructions for constructed woodturnings are available at various skill levels from simple segmented to more difficult constructions. Each set of plans includes a color reproduction, descriptive text, detailed drawings and a scaled template for turning.

The reversing 'cloud' design on this Southwestern form uses solid-block segments in Brazilian bloodwood and holly. This stylized pattern can be expanded upon with additional design layers and the use of other colored woods. (7-1/2" diameter, 5-1/2" tall)

The herringbone design is built by alternating ash and wenge angled segments in the design ring construction. The main body and collar ring are made of maple burl accented with hardwood disks and veneers. (8" diameter, 5-1/2" tall)

The swirling design in this piece of work uses a reversing angled segment technique that is cut on a curve, producing the swirling effect. The walnut burl of the main body is accented with Brazilian bloodwood, holly and dyed veneers. (8" diameter, 5" tall)

This traditional Southwest squashpot form lends itself nicely to a double row of alternating groups of angled segments. The maple burl main body is accented with lamination disks and veneers. (7-1/2" diameter, 6-1/4" tall)

A teardrop pattern is produced when a curve is turned around the sides of joined angled segment pairs. The teardrops in this work are made of holly, Brazilian bloodwood and black dyed veneer. (7" diameter, 6" tall)

Staves are nothing more than tall vertical segments but the staving technique adds a new dimension to the design palette. The work here uses solid cut staves of African wenge with black and white veneer accents. (5" diameter, 3-3/4" tall)

This classic segmented bowl is fairly simple yet elegant and timeless. One of the easiest forms to turn, this open bowl is made of Brazilian tulipwood with an ebony foot accented with holly and black dyed veneer. (5-1/4" diameter, 4-1/4" tall)

This basic segmented layup uses solid-block segments in Brazilian kingwood with lamination disks and veneers. It is built by gluing the segments into rings which become layers that are stack laminated with the veneers and disks. (5" diameter, 6-1/2" tall)

Angled segments are used in the design work on this open form. It is made of Brazilian satinwood (pau cetim) and ebony. The random segment placement can be modified to create interesting alternating and spiraling patterns. (4-1/2" diameter, 6-1/2" tall)

The open curving design in this work is produced by gluing rectangular pieces of veneer to the individual staves prior to gluing the staves into a staves block. Some previous stave constructing experience is suggested. (7" diameter, 5" tall)

Prepackaged veneers from the Bowl Kit Company are available in two basic colors: black dyed veneer and natural white veneer. These veneers can be used in a variety of woodworking projects from inlay work in furniture to design details in constructed woodturnings and craft projects. Packages contain 3 square feet of veneer in six sheets that are approximately 8" x 9" each.

Black dyed veneer can be used in a variety of woodworking projects from inlay work in furniture to design details in constructed woodturnings and craft projects. Package contains 3 square feet of veneer in six sheets that are approximately 8" x 9" each.

White veneer can be used in a variety of woodworking projects from inlay work in furniture to design details in constructed woodturnings and craft projects. Package contains 3 square feet of veneer in six sheets that are approximately 8" x 9" each.
