I had a large cherry bowl roughout that l was going to use for a salad bowl, but it turned out to have bad cracks in the bottom. Now I’m up against a deadline and I’m thinking rather than spend time and money driving to buy one an hour away, I’d just laminate kiln dried 3/4” lumber with waterproof glue- tightbond 2 or 3. Think that’ll work? -- "woodworker with an asterisk" |

I laminated some kiln dried black walnut for a salad bowl using Titebond III – still holding together. -- When I was a kid I wanted to be older . . . . . this CRAP is not what I expected ! |

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. -- When I was a kid I wanted to be older . . . . . this CRAP is not what I expected ! |
