Hi Mike.
Welcome to WTP forums.
- First, spend some time looking at the various tutorials. They are a great help.
- Decide which software you are going to use. WoodTurnerPro or Segment Pro.
For me WTP follows the same process one uses when designing on graph paper.
SP automates a lot of the design for you.
Once we know which software you want to use we can provide more direction.
Have you designed and done segment bowls in the past?
