Wood turning - Plywood Bowl

  • Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
  • 8 inch Plywood Bowl, turned at an angle. It was quite hypnotic while I turned this bowl.
    Loads of glue so traditional tools didn't work very well, although the round carbide tool more than made up for this.
    I absolutely love this project. It is a real statement piece!

    Fantastic looking bowl RDM. The offset angle on this was a stroke of genius! Have you thought about creating 'plywood' from semi decent wood just to avoid any voids in the final piece? I'm not decrying use of Starbond (great product) but just to get that (near) perfect bowl... Thanks for sharing this. All the best. Ray

    • @RDMWoodturning

    That is really cool - I'll have to try it. I notice you use Sanding Sealer a lot - i have not used it. What does that do after you sand?

    • @RDMWoodturning
      @RDMWoodturning  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching. Sanding sealer acts like a primer or base coat for the finish. It improves the finish 100% I would strongly recommend! 😎🎄👍

    Is that a bowl gouge or a roughing gouge you started with?

    • @RDMWoodturning

      Bowl Gouge. But I should have used carbide from the start! Thanks for watching 👍

    Was the plywood hard on your chisel edges ?

    • @RDMWoodturning
      @RDMWoodturning  3 года назад

      Very tough, plus I had used loads of glue! This is where carbide tips come in useful!

  • @DougMilleratWoodSpunRound

  • @petermarshall5450
    @petermarshall5450 3 года назад +1

    Very clever and very nice....good thinking. I have a question: I noticed you used traditional bowl gouges on the outside of the bowl but went to a scraping tool for the inside.....was there a particular reason? Thanks again; Peter

    • @RDMWoodturning
      @RDMWoodturning  3 года назад

      I started by hoping that the traditional tools would stand up to the glue and mixed grain of the plywood. After sharpening my bowl gouge twice, I gave up and went to a round carbide tipped tool. This was a much better choice, but I still managed to dull and brand new tip, just from the inside alone! Hope that makes sense. Cheers 👍

  • @michaelmckenney7214
    @michaelmckenney7214 3 года назад +1

    I’m not familiar with the sanding sealer you’re using. Does it give you the finish you show after one coat, or does it depend more on the sanding prep?
    Interesting project and good looking results. Thanks

    • @RDMWoodturning
      @RDMWoodturning  3 года назад +1

      The sealer is brilliant. Just one coat and it’s ready to finish. Honestly it’s a great product. Thank you very much for watching 👍
