Wow...! Trying to figure out how you did that..! Head
scratching.. Router and band saw..?.. lathe..? No,
probably too big for average lathe.. scratch, scratch..
hmm.. gotta be a router.. (?) Very cool, Larry.. Thanks
for sharing.. -Jim

Yeah, maybe turned the outside, carved and/or routed the

Glued up the curly maple/walnut sandwich and used a circle-
cutting jig on the bandsaw. Then routed out the pie shaped
cutouts using a home built template made from 1/4" MDF. It's
absolutely incredible the volume of shavings that are produced
routing out the compartments.
