Love the grain pattern

I love that it is plywood! Looks awesome.

Charlie asks an excellent question, though….

-- "Hey, you dang woodchucks! Quit chuckin' my wood!"

I trust that it is a high grade of plywood. All I have seen has a lot of voids between the plys.

Thank you!
Sorry – WTF = General Finishes Woodturner's Finish
(leave it to General Finishes, makers of Saladbowl Finish to have such a general sounding name)

and yes, they refer to it as WTF as well :)

I was in a hurry (bad) and only put on two coats. Next bowl is getting 6 or 7, which is not too bad at 5-10 minutes dry time

knothead – it’s baltic birch athough it still had a void due the football fillers. I took some of my finer shavings/chips and made wood filler by mixing it with titebond 3. It actually blends fine with the darker plys.

Nicely Done….looking at getting a lathe around Christmas, and this type of project might have moved to the top of my list. I look forwad to seeing the 45-degree bowl

-- Measuring twice and cutting once only works if you read the tape correctly!

Nice looking bowl . They don’t have soild wood where you are from. LOL just kidding

-- If it ain't broke don't fix it, if you fix it make it better than it has to be.

Oh, I was thinking WTF is “what’s that finish?”. You know . . . the stuff you put on wonder wood – as in “I wonder where that wood came from?”.

Very nice. I may have to try one of these.

nerdcraft, thinking creative. I use TBIII for gluing cork rings for custom fishing rods. Great stuff and a great tip for future reference. Thanks! I see a dark spot on the upper right of the bowl. Is that it?

I like the modern clean looks of It that would look cool! with chevron layers.

Wow, that turned out really well. Amazing how plywood looks when turned into a nice shape sin’t it? Great job.

-- Darell, Norman, Ok.

Thanks for the support and comments!
Plywood really is amazing when it changes from a sheet good to a solid with geometric grain. Beats the living daylights out of my tools but lI love the look! Being in San Francisco and working crazy startup hours, it’s tough to find fresh wood and even tougher to find the space to store drying blanks.

Thanks again to Darell for the inspiration and the kind words.
