One way to make a wooden bowl is to turn it on a lathe. Another way, for those with more patience, is to use a scroll saw to cut sections out of a sheet, then glue them together.
If you've got extreme patience, you can form that initial sheet with a complicated repeating-pattern glue-up, then cut your bowl; and if you're precise about it, as Ohio-based master woodworker Bruce Shea is, you can get the patterns to line up before you re-glue it into a bowl. Watch and respect the skillz:
Shea was showing his stuff at this year's Columbus, Ohio outpost of The Woodworking Shows, where the video was shot. For those of you who've never heard of The Woodworking Shows, it's a traveling exhibition featuring seminars, tutorials, project showcases, and aisles and aisles of tools, gadgets and gizmos. If you're into woodworking at all, you've got to attend at least one! Here are the locations:
