OLIVE END GRAIN VASE

WOW – This is great! I looked at this picture and immediately said, “how the h—- did he do that”. Then I read your narrative and looked at the second picture. Thank for so clearly explaining how you did this. I have never heard of spherical plywood. Is that something you can buy or did make the spherical plywood?

Well done Sam! I would have given you first prize.

Sam, I saw your entry at the Sydney Working With Wood Show. It is a great piece. That is an amazing amount of effort for an excellent result.

Very interesting! So, did you hollow away the original plywood form? Interesting how this takes wood turning away from being a subtractive process. More like ceramics where you build up and then take away.

I’m amazed at the result. Fantastic! What exactly is PVA glue?

This is remarkable, as is your striped bowl with reversed dots. I’m in awe of the engineering involved and your ability to find a solution to this rather complex problem. Kudos

... And I am simply fascinated with your projects. This one deserves a big bravo!
