If what you are looking for is the pinwheel effect you might consider
cutting like for trapezoids but making one angle 90 degrees and
doubling the angle for the other end. I have been doing segmented
bowls for about a year. Some of my projects at

Are the black lines between segments an inlay or wide glue lines. The
way you glue up looks like it might be difficult to get tight joints.
