Tried something new by cutting the layers of plywood on the scrollsaw. After the 5 layers were glued and set over night I shaped with the arbortec mini grinder. Sanding was a pain in the butt though. Pic. 6 is a Corian spinial which will go on my next project which is also made of corian so I will not be able to post it here. Sorry about that.

You’re as tiger for punishment Bob playing with that Plywood, can be a bit hard on the tools as well, makes for some interesting paterns though.
Think I’d take the easy way & use the lathe :: )))

G’day, Bob. That is a cool bowl. plywood is amazing in the patterns you get once it is turned. That one took a lot of extra shaping and came out really neat!! Is the corian piece from a solid or laminated pieces? It has some fine details and I imagine a place to be installed in with your next piece! Thanks for sharing!!.....Jim

G’day Pete, Plywood is great to work with as long as the tools are sharp. Your right about COVENTRY the icecream suckers from down south have done a great job.

Jim, I have lots of 1” thick corian, the finial is one piece. Keep tuned in I will post the corian project.
