Laminating salad bowl blank? Good idea or not?

I laminated some kiln dried black walnut for a salad bowl using Titebond III – still holding together.

Yeah, you can laminate bowls, here’s one I did this summer.

-- Bondo Gaposis

I see I should have been more clear in my question. I’m positive that lamination can be done to make bowls, but….
Is it advisable to do it for a bowl that is functional rather than decorative?

Yes. The argument could be made that a segmented bowl is stronger than one made from a solid piece due to the imperfections in the solid piece of wood like you experienced. The majority of commercial wooden bowls are laminated or segmented. None of mine have failed. I use Titebond lll. Finish the bottom center of the bowl, where the chuck covers, the same as the rest of the bowl to equalize movement.

The laminated bowl I made is in daily use – no problems.
