Random dip in for my morning coffee, this one caught my eye. Very cool effect and while I don't turn I can think of some other ways to use that pattern making technique. Like it.
Michael Alm has a few videos on using patterned plywood for furniture, or Pedulla Studios (Sydney?) has as lovely vic ash end grain chevron pattern piece ua-cam.com/video/a0yI_6jpFAQ/v-deo.html
Great pattern, thanks for the inspiration! Would love to try this with thin strips of various hardwoods, like a cutting board, made into a herringbone pattern.
That'd be a lot of work for just a pen, but making up a few dozen at a time would make a bit more sense. Have you seen celtic knot pens? Inserting just a few slivers of hardwood creates very cool patterns upon turning
I am trying to turn hemlock end grain and keep getting explosions and tearouts even with stabilized epoxy, cactus juice resin. I am using a carbide though...am wondering if I should try a bowl gouge or a 4th axis CNC....thought?
I've never had much luck with carbide turning tools when you need to be delicate. Traditional gouges frequently sharpened and a deft touch usually work
Very nice pattern. Interesting that the HSS tools do better than Carbide and the CA glue finish. It's also reminded me I need to make a few pens for our local Christmas makers fare. AND... I'm still uming and aring about a belt sander. It's getting closer to the top of my list ( after Helli heads for my planer).
It could just be me on the carbide tools! I find carbide harder to get the absolute finest and gentlest cuts anyway, so its probably exacerbated in plywood. If you're talking about the drum sander - Timbecon sell the Hafco model, and the Carbatec is the same. The only time you get any 'differences' in models/brands is when you're looking at Jet (2x the price) or Supermax (2.2x the cost and up). They're not *amazing* production machines, but for some things they really are nice to have. I wouldn't have been able to do homesawn veneer on my dining table without it, which is something I want to get into more. It's just a perk that it works well on plywood laminations ;)
This one was a streamline kit, which has the same end diameters as slimline pens, but with the larger middle section. Slimlines can be done with the plywood, just wasn't what I had on hand :)

Love the patterns you achieved with this plywood. They look great!
Really cool Paul! 👍👊
Very cool awesome look take care.
I'd be interested in purchasing one also Paul.
Wow very nice. I would be interested in purchasing one.
Brilliant! I've learned a lot from your vids and am hoping to put the knowledge to use before too long (a lil nervous).

Looking good, can be done thinner?
