I don't have enough experience to answer this question on my own.....
SP gives you a board length to start, and I understand that's the minimum length to get the number of pieces you need for the ring. In my first bowl I added around 10% to that length but still came up short in some rings.
Does the length given in SP include the kerf cuts needed?
My next project will be a relatively simple painted bowl, but with 48 segments to a ring. So, when SP calls for, say, a 20" lenth of wood, what length do I really need to start with to be safe, without having too much waste left over?
