Woodturning PSL & First Segmented Ring - Laguna REVO 1216 Lathe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This project was based off the wood sent to me from Luie. He has a channel called Woodworking 220-7 and after he used the PSL I mentioned that I needed to get me some of that. He ended up sending me some!
The only question was what to make with the PSL. Do I use it as a base? Do I use in the middle between two pieces of other wood? Do I turn it by itself? I decided to make it into the main body of a bowl, but added a feature ring (which is something Luie had been doing a lot of lately).
I have never made a segmented anything before, so this was going to be scary. I used an online website for getting the angles of the pieces for 7 segments. Next task was finding a piece of dark lumber. I felt light wood wasn’t going to provide enough contrast. I found a dark plank of wood, which I assumed might be Black Walnut.
After cutting, gluing and attaching the dark wood to the PSL, it did not take long on the lathe to figure out it was Black Walnut. The unmistakable smell of chocolate and the texture of the wood made it pretty simple to spot the species.
The only problem with the PSL is that there is voids in the layers. I was a little surprised, but I guess I shouldn’t have been. Its basically plywood on steroids. In the end, the layers, their colors and shapes really make the piece unique. The Black Walnut feature ring, really does pull the piece together and looks fantastic.

Why this song? I felt this bowl is the only one for me… or rather I might be the only one that likes it! LOL Tell me in the comments below if you like the bowl?

Reminder: I am new to wood turning, so please DO NOT do as I do. This is NOT a teaching or “how to” video. Maybe you can pick up a thing or two NOT to do.

I am documenting my journey into wood turning. Wood turning is a new hobby, which I find enjoyable and rewarding. It has also been a passion of mine to work with video. So, it is my intentions to produce a weekly video, which I hope is entertaining.

Cool to see you continuing to expand your lathe project ideas. Agree, this shop and look turned out GREAT!! Well done !
Thanks
Another great video. What a great bowl. I’ve had a 12x12 piece sitting on the shelf for over a year. I didn’t know what it was. Thank you for identifying it. And giving me inspiration to pull it down.
12x12 piece of PSL is a chunker! I say give it a go and send me picture when you're done. Would love to see it
Came out great! 👏👏👏

1st. Hi Jay, I have seen Luie using the PSL and it always ends up looking amazing and this is no exception.
Gorgeous looking bowl and the segmented ring really adds something to the piece.
Great work Jay
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Hey Huw! yeah the PSL is interesting wood. Basically plywood with a twist. As for the segmented ring, I think I may have to do more of those. It turned out great. Thanks and Cheers!
That wood is amazing now I need to find out where to find psl. I have never heard of it.
Yeah give a shot. Thanks
