Either way will work and neither way is the 'right way' so crack on and good luck!

Thanks. I was headed down the path of 4 pieces. But I already have two bottom 1/4's in the scrap bin and was starting to have doubts. I think I don't have the skills yet to use the wheel for more than just flattening things out a bit. Going to give hammer and stump a try for the next attempt.
