Assuming a 1/8" kerf, you will need 5/(1/8)=40 cuts as an absolute minimum.

Im making a 1/2 of cylinder 3' outside diamter - 2'7" inside diameter to
be
used as a base of a table Im making.

I tried using bending ply w/ veneer - but I can get the color to match w/
what is on the rest of the project (1/2" oak ply)
So im going to use the 1/2" oak ply - kerf cut it and bend it around the
staves (or ribs or what ever you want to call them)
Is there some general rule of thumb on how far about the kerf cuts want to
be and how deep?

Thanks
Rob
