The Intersecting Rings Wood Turning Wave Bowl

- This was lots of fun to do. And not all that hard. I think the one I saw a picture of was called a Wave Bowl.
Made from a very nice piece of Cherry and some dyed veneer.
Special thanks to Rick for giving me this piece of wood along with others.
Here is last weeks turning that maxed out the diameter that I can turn over the bed of my lathe:

Wow. That cherry is nice! Will have to give this a try. Would love to see more complex ones.
Thanks Joey.
For sure a more complex one will be on the list.
Gary
Yes, more unique treatments, please. Bowl shape and wood both great. Well done, Gary!
Thanks Valerie! Lots of things are spinning in my head right now. Maybe that is why I feel dizzy LOL
Papa, that turned out Fantastic! The cherry is beautiful, and I love the way you showed off the glisten. I have to be honest, the bottom inside turned out really nice. I didn't expect it to look that pretty as I watched, but you proved me wrong. Sometimes, I like to be wrong.
Thanks for sharing - I look forward to seeing more.
Lowell - AKA "Papa"
Thank you Papa Lowell. This Cherry is an exceptional piece of wood for sure.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks Gary!
More of this, Please!...
Sure thing Rob and thanks for watching,
Gary
Oh yeah! Let's see more! This was fun.
For sure Kathleen and I will probably make my own veneer.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I’ve never seen that before and I really like it!! Since I find myself with an abundance of walnut these days, I’ll try to cut my own 1/8th inch laminate from that and pair it with hard maple or cherry. Thanks for another great idea!! That is beautiful! Cheers, Rick
Thanks Rick. I thought about cutting my own as well. I had these two pieces of veneer left so I used them.
I have some walnut I cut cut into veneer as well. When my new bandsaw blades show up I just may do that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
John Beaver is the guy that developed the idea of the wave bowl and many variations of it. John is a great guy and deserves credit for sharing his method.
Thanks Greg. Pretty much the same idea as a Celtic knot. He most likely is the first who has shown it done on a bowl. I looked him up and he has some cool looking bowls.
Fabulous!
Thank you Jussi!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's a beauty
Thank you Christine 😊
Gorgeous Gary.
I have used that technique on lots of my pens.
Great video Gary.
Take care my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Well good morning Huw.
Yes I thought of you are your pens. Same process.
Not really sure who came up with this one the first time but for sure that process has been used for many many years. Most likely long before wood turning became popular. I say that because the Celtic Knot has been around for AGES.
Thanks for watching my friend and hope all is well with you.
Take care,
Hwyl,
Gary
The combination of woods and the shape of the bowl and the intersecting rings make for another great turning.
Thank you very much Doug!
Wow, going to try it myself. Good job
Thank you Tim. Give it a try it is not all that hard.
Gary
Thank You Gary, Thank You Rick... WOW Gary quite an interesting project that opens up unlimited variables.... What? (4:28) I think the glue up is exciting and a very interesting part of your process... This was a fun one Gary. One of these days. Decades far in the future from now folks will look at your work and wonder "how did this woodturner do this one???....TM
Thank you TM. Well if I showed it all the video would probably put most people to sleep. But most people do not drink as much coffee as you(and me) LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Such patience but a masterpiece result. Beautiful 😃
Thank you Redgum and thanks for watching,
Gary
That’s lovely, Gary! Simple but elegant.
Thanks so much Marci. Simple is good!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice, Gary. That was a different result from when using a straight cut instead of a circular cut.
Bill
Thank you Bill. For sure a straight line would be just that in the finished piece. I think it is endless to what you could come up with.
Thanks for watching
Gary
Thank you. In a world of epoxy turning, i appreciate the sophistication of this piece
Thank you very much Patricia. Epoxy has a place and it can look good. But I do not have that place in my shop.
I may use a bit to repair something but that is about it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Sir in my younger days made Teak Salad Bowls. My teacher was Peter Child. Your presentation was really good and brought back many Memories.
Thank you very much Richard. Not sure I have heard of him but I will look him up.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's a nice piece of wood Gary. Good looking bowl.
I did a bunch of this style a few years ago. At that time I thought I'd invented the technique but I was a new turner then so there was a lot that I didn't know. And didn't know that I didn't know.
I did two thing differently than you did. I cut the blank round and built a jig to fit my circle cutting bandsaw jig that let me cut the opposing curves at any degree of rotation I wanted. So I was able to have two off set sets of rings . 45 degrees to one another.
And then I tried coloured construction paper. Multiple layers for that to build up the thickness. I could do green/red/green and do the second set with yellow/black/yellow. Or whatever looks right to you. Made for an interesting look.
If you try that the wood glue won't hold it so you have to either use epoxy or after you turn the outside flood the exposed paper rings with thin CA. Then turn the inside and when you get close to final thickness flood the inside of the rings again. That works well.
As you can tell that's not something for a production turner but for a hobbyist it's just fine.
Thank you Randy. I am afraid the wheel was invented long long ago. And that goes with most things done on the lathe.
They most likely started with something not related to wood turning but can be used on our turnings This is one of them
The way I cut two boards on top of each other is something I did as a wood patternmaker. Not to match two types of wood but to stack huge segments and cut them on an angle. What you got was angles that matched. Good for making tapered things.
I like your idea on stacking the thin multi color veneer. Not real fond of the epoxy but I can see it would be needed.
I was going to use my circle cutting jig to cut these but the blade I had in would not have liked that.
My order of new blades came in today so the next one I will most likely use a jig.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary that is a beautiful looking piece of wood the grain is just amazing and such a great idea, and yes I would like to see more of that
Thank you Alan. Not sure the type of Cherry but it is the nicest I have turned.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I wish I had such great friends to provide amazing blanks. You are truly blessed. Terrific piece! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much. For sure Rick is very generous when it comes to sharing wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very beautiful Gary.
Thank you very much Jack. I appreciate you watching.
Take care,
Gary
Salut Gary très belle réalisation j’aime ce genre de projet bravo 👍👏 prend soin de toi et passe de très bonne fêtes de fin d’année à toi et ton entourage 🎉☀️🙏
Merci Denis et un très joyeux Noël à toi et aux tiens,
Gary
Proof there is beauty in simplicity! I'm glad you didn't overwork it and let the wood be what it was meant to be instead of trying to make it into something it wasn't. The natural pattern and movement of the rings around the bowl is just beautiful. If I had that in my house I would have it on a rotating pedestal because there is no "good" side and the simple, continuous flow all around should be showcased. It's like a museum piece. Stunning.
Thank you for your wonderful comment. That is just the way I feel about this piece. Just watching those rings as it slowly turns is amazing. I sure love it when I come across a piece of wood like this.
I like your idea of having it just sitting an rotation letting the light bring life to the grain.
Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Gary
Awesome. I read one of your glue comments and I am so glad I did. I have Elmers glue and wondered what was wrong with it…?😅 I will keep using it. Thanks!!
Thank you very much Barry. Yup all I used for many years at work was good old Elmer's white wood glue.
If it was good enough for gluing patterns for foundry use it should hold up for some segments. As a matter of fact I made segments for 6 foot diameter turnings and used Elmer's glue.
I only switched to TB Original because where I got my glue they did not have Elmer. When the TB Original is gone it will be Elmer's for sure. That gallon jug is almost gone and the TB III is getting close.
Thanks for watching
Gary
A very intressting pice of work I do like it. Like you I do put things and I cant find them next time Bob Gloucester Englad UK
Thank you Bob, my mind seems to be on other things when I do put it away. I keep saying someday I will get a system LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's really beautiful
Thank you very much Joann. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Simple but impressive pattern, I think most people (including me before watching) would have no idea how it was done. Wood is *so* pretty, and lovely shape.
Thank you very much Susan. Yes it is very simple to do and I do plan on making more similar to this.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Yes please,more ❤ One of my favorite lathe channels.
Thanks so much Bob and I am sure I will be doing more of these.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice, I really enjoyed video.
Thank you very much Bernie I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
That turned out amazing Gary love the idea will definitely have a try over the holidays,
Kind regards From Will 😊
Thanks so much Will. I am it the planning stage of another one.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Looks fantastic. I hope to try that some day.
Thank you very much John I appreciate you watching.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice Gary I.ll have to give this a try!!
Thank you Roger. Pretty easy to do. Check out my latest video. Very similar.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love it, going to try this!
Thank you Lawrence.
Gary
Great job of working with the Queen! Love everything about it. The chatoyance is blinding.
Thanks Doug. It sure lit up. I was afraid the curved lines would take away from it but it seems to work fine.
Pretty sure there is one more piece in the box.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice, love it.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
I have LOTS of 'safe places' in my shop. Yeah, it's a pain but I admit I kind of enjoy when I find something I'd thought was lost. Looking forward to trying this myself. Thanks!
Thank you very much Michael. Well I spent years thinking I had lost a really nice Starrett 6 inch rule. Then one day when moving a bench I found it had slid down the back of the bench and was hidden. It now sit on my computer desk where I measure small things with it. I do not allow it to go out to the shop LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice that is beautiful . Have a Merry Christmas .
Thank you Mike and a Merry Christmas to you as well.
Gary
Wow, nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice one Papa!
Thank you Sean and thanks for watching,
Gary
I saw John Beaver make a bowl like this. One of my favorite turnings
Since I have made this one I have heard his name.
Very pretty
Thank you Lynda..happy you liked it.
Gary
Cherry is beautiful almost always. The Celtic knot idea was brilliant.
Thanks Stevio I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Wonderful!
Many thanks Anita!
Absolutely love it. I showed my wife. She liked it so much she invited me to make one for her. 😂 good thing I have more 🍒 wood.
Thank you so much Rick and thanks for such a beautiful piece of wood. It is just amazing. Do you know what kind of Cherry it is? I was completely blown away by the grain in this.
Thanks again,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 this was a red sweet cherry that my friend in Blaine Washington had. It grew too tall to pick (birds got most of them) and when it grew into the powerlines it had to be removed. He was kind enough to give me the entire tree.
Looks Great
Thank you James and thanks for watching,
Gary
I got quite a chuckle from your comment about safe and locatable. My husband does the same. It’s a running joke between us. The bowl came out amazingly beautiful. Great grain and shine. More would be great! I love your creativity!
Thank you very much Susanne. Oh this has been going on since we got married....Hey have you seen.......?
Always ends up being in the last place we look LOL
More will happen!
Gary
I’m stunned by how beautiful that chunk of wood is. Great design.
Thank you very much Robert! I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Simple, but really nice.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful
Glad you liked it Norma!
Gary, what a beautiful bowl. The cherry is gorgeous. The simple embellishment with the black venier is outstanding. And you topped it all off with an outstanding finish. I got to this party a bit late. I read most of the previous comments and have to agree. This is a real winner, as most (99.9% nobody is perfect but you are close) of your projects are. 👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and remember, as the wood goes around, the face shield comes down.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. Wow 99.9% is an amazing number. Try but not sure it reach that. But thank you,
Gary
Thats really nice Gary!!
Thank you very much Tom!
Absolutely beautiful, excellent work as always! Thanks Gary🤗
Thank you very much Neeben and thanks for watching.
Gary
Beautiful! More, more!
Thank you Steve. That is the plan.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I will watch this several times and try to figure out how you did it! That looks really sharp. I like the way you call your tool size and your RPM. That is a huge help. Well Done!
Thank you. It is pretty easy.if you get stuck you can email me and I can help.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thanks for showing us the glue up procedure. That is a really beautiful piece. It is one of my favorites for some reason.
Thanks so much John. I sure like it as well. I think because it is pretty simple and has such a cool look to it. Maybe fancy is a better word.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very Nice Work!

That was a great video, excellent finish in and out, mind you cherry and apple are my favourites, great style that is, my personal preference is i would liked to of seen the waves a tad nearer the top, just saying. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you Gary. Happy you enjoyed the video my friend.
It looked to me it should be closer to the top as well and that is why I took some off the top when I was almost done.
On my next one I will most likely move it up some.
Thanks for watching
Gary

Nice project with a lot of POP! That was a nice piece of cherry and you have the eye of the artist. 🥸👍👀✅
Thank you Joe I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Interesting turning, Gary. I like the chatoyance of the wood. Despite the wood being a little hard, it did not seem to give you much trouble turning. It smoothed out very nicely after using your 1/2" bowl gouge towards the end. Ten thumbs up from this end of the Inner Web. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks John. It was harder than I expected but it was very nice to turn. The grain is amazing.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice - would love to see more, please.
Thank you Paul and for sure I will do more.
Thanks for watching,

Fantastic project! I need to try that now! Very well done Gary, as always!
Thank you Chris. Pretty easy to do and fun as well.
This bowl has to be rated in the top ten of your pieces it's elegant and your lines of black accent it's grain. I really like it.😍
Please make more.
Thank you very much Judith. I sure like it and so does my wife.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Will do and I ordered some new bandsaw blades just for doing them.
