You can use a forstner bit in your talestock to reduce the amount of cutting and give you a starting point for the inside of the bowl.

Saved me for mentioning this. Also removes the pesky wiggly bit in the middle.

The patterned plywood looks so cool with the colored veneers. You could use the extra cut-off strips to make bookmarks, or you could use them as a patterned plywood veneer as accents on another project

First off let me say I am so impressed with all your discoveries every time you make a video on pattern plywood. We get to learn a lot with you on your journey. Second as somone who turns often, let me offer you one piece of advice. There are different gouges made for different jobs. When you roughed out the handle for your table saw you used your bowl gouge ( pointed gouge with swept back bevel). You’ll want to use the roughing gouge. ( shaped like a half pipe with bevel that dosnt sweep back). Turning is a beautiful art and success makes it so enjoyable. Using the correct tools will give a better success rate. But I have to give you props in breaking out the skew chisel. Even as a seasoned turner I know the best way for me to blow something up is the skew. They don’t call it “the taming of the skew “ for nothing. Other than that another superb video. Keep up the great work and I always look forward to more of your videos

Isn't that a fingernail profile gouge and not a bowl gouge? Serious question because I've never heard that style of gouge called a bowl gouge. It can be used as one. It is more of a hybrid between a bowl gouge and a skew.

I've done a fair bit of pattern plywood turning in the past, roughing gouges are terrible for it because you're turning endgrain. In the same way you shouldn't use a roughing gouge on a bowl, roughing gouges on plywood suck and can even be dangerous. My favourite is the skew (not used like a scraper) for turning plywood, you get a much nicer finish

Be sure to make a defined foot on bowls. A little undercut around the edge will do a lot to elevate the piece. I’m a potter in addition to being a beginning woodworker.

"Visually digestible" is a great design language term! Conveys a ton about design decisions very simply 👍

You are a brave man for turning your first bowl so big and a composite as well

Dude this looks so good!! It's really impressive and I can tell this opened a whole new world for you to explore. So excited to see where you take this idea

Impressive persistence! Very cool results, the lathe adds a new dimension to the patterned plywood for sure!

Love seeing your craft expand into these new things. You are such an artisan and I love the inspiration you exude and passion you put into everything you create. Keep up the amazing work Michael!

I think the shavings would be great bookmarks!

I'm dying when you blew into the bowl and started choking on sawdust. That was hilarious cause I'm 100% certain every woodworker has done that.

Just been watching your video, I turn a lot of items made from old skateboards, and for someone turning laminated wood for the first time you did amazing. If you have a go a turn a “normal” bowl you’ll be amazed how much easier it cuts, you are properly learning to swim in the deep end. When I made my first skateboard bowl I also experienced the gouge heating up, however a lot of the heat comes from the bevel rubbing and the pressure on the bevel, I struggle to explain it but as you progress you’ll notice the gouge doesn’t heat up as much & you have to sharpen it less, again on my first skateboard bowl I must have sharpened my gouge a dozen times. Hollowing it you went for a deeper bowl than I’d normally do, kudos, as you found the gouge gives a better finish when turning laminates but deep carving is tricky. Personally I always go for a tenon over a mortise as if there’s any faults in the glue up the chuck can cause them to split. However amazing first time turning veneers as as I said if you master it turn “wood” will seem easy in comparison

He definitely has some angles to learn with his fingernail profile gouge. Normally a bowl like he made takes a single sharpening. It is hard to explain on the internet what he should look for when he is roughing out a bowl as far as gouge angle etc. But you hit the nail on the head for sure.

Outstanding. As always, thanks for including the challenging moments we all fear but learn so much from. The bowl is magnificent! It was as much fun seeing you discover new ways to make the pattern blocks, and then make them even more efficient.

The shavings you have can be used for some amazing bookmarks, i don't read but i'd be happy if i had one of those as like a bit of decoration... it'd fit well with the style i'm going for in my room... btw this is the first video from you i've ever seen and it's great content! Earned yourself a sub!

Fantastic video, my thanks❣ I've recently purchased my 1st lathe and videos such as yours, where things don't always go to plan, are invaluable to my development. I appreciate you including the entirety of your project, from inception to completion, along with your narration & thought process in problem-solving.👍

8:55 you're learning the ways of the candy maker. Well done!

AND LOVE THAT LITTLE HANDLE SO MUCH MAN THAT IS SO EFFING COOL!

Michael, I've been following your work with pattern plywood for a long time. I am fascinated to see what comes in this video, but I have paused it to hit you with a 'before' comment. Your creativity and explorer's urges are a big part of why I follow you. I share your excitement going into this experiment.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this one Michael! You continue to amaze!

This seems like exactly the sort of thing to send to Frank Howarth!! He does a lot of segmented bowls that are, effectively, patterened plywood but minus the ply, so he would have a lot of experience working with that sort of fragmented material! Also, wow, the ai-generated spam comments are truly wild.

came in here to suggest this! i would actually love to see them do a collaboration, they both inject a lot of creativity into their projects and clearly have fun with things

It was nice to hear and see the details of your turning learning process. You could probably send the cut-offs and shavings to Peter Brown. He does a lot of neat resin + strange material bowls and projects if you aren't familiar.

I'm glad you stuck with it. The finished product is fantastic!!

Great turning👏🏼 The bowl is beautiful.

Congratulations on learning a new skill and sharing your journey with us!

Beautiful job!! I love the pattern you chose!!

19:48 seeing as it’s a, I guess, “leverage handle,” (idk the scientifical term) it probably wouldn’t have hurt to use a longer bolt set the full length of the handle, or most of the length so it’s not exposed at the end, to give it more rigidity. That probably would’ve prevented it from breaking unsupported on the lathe and would prevent it from breaking in the future

I love your enthusiasm for this. Also super sick project. I would display that in my home.

Turned out to be gorgeous! Great work

Amazing work once again, you never cease to amaze! When I was taught to turn bowls, we always glued a scrap disc to the bottom of the blank, with a piece of paper in between. Screw on the adapter plate, do all your turning (inside and out), carving right into your scrap if you want. When the turning is done, split the bowl off the disc with a chisel, the paper should let it split away cleanly. Sand the bottom, and you're done. Also my wife says to use the scraps for bookmarks. Thanks for another great video.

Awesome final shots!

I'm SO happy to see you back with a video Michael!

As talented as you are with wood, it’s exciting to see you experimenting with lathe work. The handle and bowl are stunning as are the multicolored veneers. The thin offcuts look like wood box top veneers or cut into pendants or earring pieces. Looking forward to future vids. Great job! 👍

Thus turned out amazing! I love watching your patterned plywood videos. They are inspiring. We actually found an old lathe, like a huge industrial one. Not sure what to do yet!

Absolutely brilliant idea and execution! If you haven’t already found a use for the offcuts from trueing the large blank, they would make insane handles for a marking knife. They look about the right size anyway. I’d love the opportunity to make one for you, but it’s an easy enough project to tackle yourself as well. I always love seeing where your creativity takes you, and thanks for sharing!

Man, you gave us like 3 videos worth of content in one and I love it!!

I recently found your video, and I am loving your creativity. Admittedly, I am a bit intermediated about the process; however, after seeing how great your rip fence handle turned out, I am eager to try it for myself. That was amazingly cool, even if the blue did not turn out the way you had hoped!

I think you could layer those shavings together, epoxy them like Cam from Blacktail did with his denim table, and then turn that into a matching spoon/knife/fork/spork handle. I vote spoon though, because spoon is the best word out of all them. Great video once again, cannot wait to finally get started in my little shop and try some of your projects!

Awesome looking bowl & kudos to you for trying something on the larger side for your first time; turning bowls are so much fun, especially natural edge bowls!

Love the bowl! 😍 And you had some cool transition shots in this video 🤘🏼

You create such beauty. I love watching your channel.🌸

These videos are my Saturday morning cartoons. Even had my Almfab hat on while watching!

Wow look so amazing for your first bowl with pattern plywood. Can’t wait to see what you do next keep up the amazing work

Some beautiful chatoyancy in that spindle. And well done on that finish. Looks amazing.

Awesome! Fabulous! Stunning! And more! Seriously, Michael, just a great job on your first turnings, beautiful projects and they look so good with the thicker veneer. I may even buy one of the panels, even though I don’t work with wood. Just to have one because they are so gorgeous.

The bowl looks totally "AMAZING!!!!" I just love the beautiful pattern of the wood.

That handle looks so awesome!

Everything looks awesome!

Very cool look! I like the colorful veneers.

Really relieved when you moved the tool rest inside the piece. I'm no expert woodturner, but I suspect that was part of the reason you found it tough when the bowl got to its deepest - the forces end up getting magnified due to the position of the pivot point. When your rest is close to your workpiece it's working for you, and the more your tool is overhanging, the more it works against you.

Love all the creative ways in which you use patterned plywood and I respect the drive for an efficient use of materials. Geometric morphing is a fascinating subject, especially when it's financially incentivized ;) For the thin shaved offcuts, perhaps you could use them as plumage for a potential bird sculpture? Leaves on a carved sapling? I look forward to seeing whatever you make of them. Thanks!

I've seen thusands of wood turning videos and never seen tools so shiny and new.

0:20 Aww, that is just adorable.

Very good ideas and very good works . Many compliments !

Carbide scrapers are nice and easy for hollowing. Rodeo turning, amazing plywood. Turned out pretty neat in the end. Awesome content!

Cool video. As a learned woodworker this really appeals to me. And you can learn so much more from a try-and-fail video than a perfect display of how a master does it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

YES! This has been on my mind since the first time I saw this patterned plywood. I can just see it.. it's gonna happen one day and it will be in my living room :)

Great job on the bowl😊❤

So awesome Michael! Great work.🤩

Loved the video Michael and congrats on working on a new skill! Traditional wood turning gouges are all about tool presentation. That takes time and as you eluded too plywood probably isn’t the easiest material to start learning on. It’s hard to tell from the video, but I think your tool rest may have been too high. If your handles are long enough they should be tucked into your hip when the tip of the gouge engages the center line of the wood. Your inside cuts are a push cut, you kinda want to do that on the outside too. Most of your tool presentation on the outside was scraping cuts, which are fine but the tool has more versatility and you can get a better finish with the push cut. It will all come with practice. Keep it up!

You talking about how the veneers are usually used for skateboards is making me think that a patterned plywood skateboard would be pretty cool!

Very impressive work!

Nice job for a first bowl turning! I was hollering at you through the whole turning process trying to tell you what you were doing wrong! :) Great job getting it done! It turned out beautiful! Regarding the offcuts, I'll cut them up into smaller pieces and put them all into a mold and either pour a rising Charcuterie board or make an epoxy bowl!

I'm a hobbyist quilter and all your patterns gave me LOADS of ideas. I was asking "how do I sew this ? " I printscreen a lot of the patterns to add to my ideas files. Thank you. ( I understand perfectly when you asked what else can I do with this ? 🤔

Anything Murphy or secret cubbies and doors, laundry hampers, tables, for small living spaces Also using tall ceilings for using vertical space for furniture like a reading nook, or a three story bed-mini loft-lookout You do great work!

Nice job on the plywood patterned bowl Michael! Thanks for always sharing with us!💖😎👍JP

You sir, are the master of patterned plywood!

The plywood that keeps on giving - and a nice sideline in confetti too! This can only keep getting better, with practice etc. And with the variables for making blanks almost endless - this should prove very interesting.

Inspired by your original videos on pattern plywood, i went to messing about in my workshop with what i could do. I find it really interesting that we have both found the same processes and discoveries. I too was concerned with how the center of a log glue up would come out. But had the same reaction as yourself when i saw the resawn pieces had come out so well. I have a few machines that desperately need upgrading, but when that's done i have some really stunning furniture designs to prototype and build.

This was probably the most suspenseful of your videos yet. I actually felt anxious near the end after it popped off the lathe a few times.

I absolutely love this channel so theories to watch you

Very cool! I amazed at how much anxiety I felt watching you turn both the handle and bowl. Great work.

So great, the result is so amazing 👍👍

Came out great. Those turning segment are nerve wracking.

Having just watched the Rabbit boxing video before this, i thought the fur on the sculpture was incredible, and the pattern ply wood shaving would look amazing used on something like that

I'm happy that Timberland seems to be happy with your advertising 😊😅

those extra shavings could be bookmarks, very pretty

As soon as I saw those very thin and unique offcuts, my mind went immediately to book marks!

Idk if it's more reliable but peter brown usually glues on a sacrificial piece of wood for the chuck to grip onto at the bottom then cuts it off later.

Awesome vid! Take a look at setting up a lathe dust collection vacuum.

You should use all the shaving of this project and put it in an epoxy table of something like that. The colours would look amazing.

I love that Beth Alm is the first support you list! Quite right!

That is exciting stuff. Thank you.

Fun project. Dig the colored veneer.💚👽

Finally you’re using Roarockit veneers! I love using them to make my own rainbow plywood!! I like to alternate the grain orientation though.. makes for flatter and more stable

Nice work!

That is a beautiful bowl.

Cool looking bowl..... Nice job 👍👍 I will be turning my first projects since middle school soon. (LONG time ago) So It was nice to see another newbie going at it and show me what works and what doesn't work. So thank you. Take care, ~Jonny5🥁

Shavings suggestion - save these and others from various projects across a few months, then stick them all together in a bucket chaotically, and add epoxy, you can also add glitter/pearl or even glow powder to the epoxy for special effect and then turn the epoxy chaos mix

For the inside, I recommend drilling out the center of the bowl, approaching final depth, with a forstner bit

Really enjoy watching your creative process !!! Shavings - - Earrings, pendants, bookmarks

This is really cool! You should turn a bowling ball with patterned plywood using those colored veneers

Fascinating results, Michael! FYI, I am confident that we could create a bowl blank with about one eighth the material that would require MUCH less labor to turn. I'll have to give it some thought, but it is certainly possible. A long time ago I said that I was happy to provide some support because what you were doing was so innovative, even if I didn't see myself using it. I'm starting to see ways pattern plywood could fit into my aesthetic. Innovation leads to more innovation, right? More really good work, man! Thanks and congrats!

Great video. Makes me want to get a lathe. I’ve always wanted to try it.

This is fantastic!!!

A bowl perfectly suited to storing all those pattern ply off cuts.

Shaving are beautiful bookmarks!
