Walnut Segmented with Solid Bottom Salad Bowl
I have been turning seriously one year. For Christmas I produced 5 salad bowls of stay-segmented walls and a solid bottom from walnut. There are 16 segments in the walls. I also produced for my daughters specifically rolling pins from walnut and maple. I was inspired by a rolling pin I saw with offset layers of lighter wood mixed with the primary darker wood. Both are finished with a homemade paste of beeswax and mineral oil

I'm curious as to whether or not the bottom will move more than the sides will allow? It would seem that the small stay-segments would move very little but the broad face grain bottom would move more and possibly crack the glue or wood joints.
I've been making rolling pins alot lately too. Consider the european style tapered from both ends (no handles). The overall length is about 18 inches. The large diameter is no more than 1 1/2 and the ends are about 1 inch. My wife and daughter like them better because they are lighter and press the dough out infront and to the sides because of the slight taper.
I also make rolling pins. I use a single strip of colored wood (bloodwood, purpleheart, etc) with maple side pieces glued on. I use the French style with 2" in the middle with tapers down to 1 3/4 diameter over the last 5 inches from each end. Total of 24 inches long.
