Just so you will know, my scrollsaw work kicked in and I was able to buy one of these,
The process is really simple, flatten your board, dill a 1/2 hole in the center, mount on the lathe and turn your rings. Glue up the rings, sand and finish. I'm still getting better but I know of people that are doing 2-3 bowls a day and selling them for anywhere from $35.00 to $50.00 each. That is at flea market prices. It isn't like turning on a conventional where you have all that waste, but the results can be very similar. I'll post some more pictures, Steve you'll like the Spalted Alaskan Birch.

I like them. The woods go well with each other. I never tried doing bowls, mostly knobs, finials, balusters, newels, and spindles.
