[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice work on everything David! Really like the tallow, maple and mimosa bowls! Great form, colors and finishes! I wish you luck on your fund raiser!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Wow David,
I'll say you have been busy!
Gorgeous creations... the ambrosia and tallow bowls look to be
made of marble - amazing figure.
I would have liked a better peek at them up front, instead of hiding in the back of the pack.
All of your pieces deserved their own photos? hehe

You are quick with kind and supportive words for others, and quite the accomplished turner, too!

Wait a minute... are you saying... plywood can be turned?
One thing I do have... am drowing in... is plywood leavings.
hmmm (the hamster in my head just squeaked his wheel into spinning)

Care to share any tips or pitfalls on turning a hunk of plywood?
Which glue? Which ply? What to do with voids? Any special tooling approach?

Congrats on your creative and charitable efforts!
be well,
Walt

Walt, the plywood was started as a joke but turned out pretty good....I just used 1/2' B/C scraps and glued them with titebond 2 then used my easy rougher and a bowl gouge....notthing special just wear a face shield because the plywood chips fly everywhere....oh yea I filled the voids with elmers wood filler and sanded

Your bowls along should bring in enought money to run your chuch for along time.Nice job,and I also love the plywood bowls,I made some pens out of plywood.For me it was hard to turn----"Looking Good" Carroll
