Dak0ta52 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Wow. They turned out great. Is the first bowl made out of plywood? If so, where do you get plywood without voids? Tbow388 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, where do you get plywood without voids? The butcher block one is 1" (actual) thick Maple butcher block countertop. If you can imagine several hundred 1 inch pieces being glued up together sideways. I took the piece that I had (4"x18"), planed it down to 3/4 cut 4" sections glued them together opposing and then cut away.

Scrollshrimp Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Very nice, I wish I could get my bowls to turn out as good. Always seem to struggle with the angle for the thickness of wood I'm cutting. Tbow388 and barb.j.enders 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 I too like the kidney bowl. two questions. what angle are you using? do you drill a hole at the same angle to start your cut? Or do you enter from the side and glue each piece back together? ok so that was three questions.. Oops Tbow388 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you enter from the side and glue each piece back together? ok so that was three questions.. Oops Gonzo The angle depends on the thickness of the wood And the thickness of the ring. I use a digital caliper and construction calculator to figure out the angle for each individual bowl. I then drill a hole at the same angle using a 3/64 drill bit. If you don’t have those things then there are some videos on YouTube I think. Edited February 27, 2023 by Tbow388 Gonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you enter from the side and glue each piece back together? ok so that was three questions.. Oops Gonzo I was thinking on the best way to explain it. If you have a 3/4 thick piece of wood and the rings on the bowl pattern are 1/4 thick. you would make 2 lines on the side of your 3/4 board 1/4 inch apart. Set your saws agle to go diagonal between those two lines. Then you cut a small piece of and use a drill press to drill at the same angle or use the pieces that you cut off as a guide to hand drill your angle. Does that make any sense? If not I will photo the process and post it on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
