I produced my first design and bowl using Segment Pro. I have been using a different piece of software and it allowed/required that I determine the thickness of each ring to account for the curve of the bowl. Segment Pro only asks for one 'wall thickness' and it adjusts the wall thickness and board widths to compensate for the curve of the bowl.
However, when I reviewed the summary and looked at the cutaway view it seemed that the width of the bottom two rows of my bowl was just too much. I reduced it some from what the plan called for and still had to cut away a great deal more wood than seemed necessary (at least 1/2")
Other than just guessing about how wide these rows really need to be, is there some setting or something that is causing the plan to make the bottom rows so wide?
I attached the file in Excel.
