I am trying to make 4 individual salad bowls from maple. The outside diameter will be around 7.25", and the height of the bowl will be approx. 3". Wall thickness will be 0.25". I intend to put a segmented ring on the top of the bowl, 16 segments, made from zebra wood. I would like to separate each of the segments with a dark wood, to simply highlight the zebra wood itself and provide some contrast to the maple. I have some walnut veneer, about 0.02" thick. Will one piece/slice of walnut veneer between each segment suffice to highlight the zebra segments, or can I add one or more extra pieces between the segments? Is there any issue with having 2 or 3 thin layers between segments (like seeing each of the layers when finished), or do I need to find some walnut around 1/16" thick?
Any help appreciated. Thanks,
Doug
