This week I’m following the audience suggestions from my last week and making a bowl out of Patterned Plywood. Since I don’t have a lathe in the shop I found something called a stave bowl. Often made by wood turners, these bowls are made from flat panels that are ideal for patterned plywood. There are a few charts that I found to make this project a TON easier.
Matthias Wandel’s Tapered Polygon Miter Cut Table - woodgears.ca/miter/
Malcom Tibbetts’ Tables for Compound Miters comes from his book “The Art of Segmented Woodturning” tahoeturner.com/book/
I found this chart through Anduril Design’s video “Making a Tulipwood Stave Bowl, Part 1” • Making a Tulipwood Sta... Both are great guides if you want to dive deeper into bowl making.

This project came from your comments, so let me know what you want to see next! I'd love suggestions for new projects, patterns, and experiments in plywood. Thanks for watching!!
I think a vase would be really cool!
I would like to see coffee table just like that...
Make an egg out of the dragon scale pattern. Maybe turn it into a lamp
I'm not sure how well it would work but I love one piece solid body electric guitars. Any ideas on how dragonscale could incorporated into something like that?
if you can do the patterns thin enough (so light can shine through) - these would make awesome lamp shades.
That looks so amazing! I'm definitely going to have to try something like this one day. Great video!
Hey Bobby! Thanks man!! 🙌 I would love to see you give it a go
i get the feeling you might do this with a flexible metal

Nice of you to support another’s Wewdworking channel!
As a retired woodworker I'd like to tell you that I have made many scrollsaw bowls w/plywood, but your patterned ply would be an excellent variation. Health prevents me but you have inspired me to advocate anyone to try it.
I wish you good health and I hope you will go back to do what you love.
It’s a shame he did not reply (although I’m sure he’s very busy) to your message, I would have loved for you that he did, I’m sure when I’m better in wood working (I’m still new to this) that I will try this, I will name it the the Almgrumpswal bowl, hope that health is still with you, greetings
As frustrating as it must have been, losing those corner pieces on the jig, I actually think it improved the end product. The rim has a nice level of visual complexity with the three "depths;" two peaks, and then a valley where another peak would have been if you'd have kept the corners. That third peak would have been between the heights of the other two, which would have made the rim much more uniform, I think the effect you ended up with is more interesting. This also suits the internal patterning that happened as a result of the join angles; where the pieces meet you get a bunch of variety in the shapes of the "scales," which again, I think adds to the visual interest, but isn't a native feature of the pattern as it's first glued up. Having an exaggerated pattern around the rim matches nicely with these variations in the interior bowl.
I actually was wondering how the bowl would look with some teeth missing but cleaned up. I'm a fan of asymmetry.
I understand you perfectly. And agree that these "imperfections" emphasize the had made quality of the bowl. This is obviously not a mass produced item.
Amazing how much depth the dark veneer adds to the pattern, it really does give the appearance of overlapping scales
I think a double patterned chess board would be awesome! Like one type of pattern for the white squares and a reverse of that pattern in a different type of plywood for the black squares.
Love your videos!
Ohhh, that would be EPIC.
Heck yes!
The one from the offcuts would make an amazing lampshade, for that application, i would put the bottom from the inside, so gravity helps it seat. Beautiful work as always, Michael!
Wow! I thought he was making a lampshade until the end
I thought that was what it was too as soon as i saw it 👍🏼
I agree! That would make a kick ass lamp for a ceilling
I was thinking he could make it into a lid for the larger bowl.
SOOOOOOOOOOO cool. Man what a fun project Michael!
Just a thought. You might want to hand sand (orbital) each panel with a lower grit sand paper (80?) to get some of the glue off, before you plug up that awesome drum sander. That paper is much more expessive to go through with a large amt of glue on the wood. Or just scrap the glue off with a good scraper, if it does not tear the wood up too much. Your project rocks. Can't wait to try it. Just discovered your site. Ditto Maria, down below. Love the fact that you show the 'fails' you keep in. Nice to know, I'm not the only one that screws up a project just when you think you are on a roll.
That bowl is nothing short of stunning! Turned out amazing and as other people have mentioned, the offcuts bowl would make a lovely lampshade. Well done and love your work, such an inspiration!
As soon as I saw the first cut on the jig I was thinking “hmm, I wonder if the scrap pieces would add up to another bowl”
Also, I would have made the spare panels, like you did, but then I’d FORGET that they were spares and try to glue 14 pieces together instead of 12 and wonder why nothing fits. 🤣
This would make a pretty sweet lamp shade that would look great in your new home office. Awesome work as always. It’s so satisfying to watch a sheet of plywood turn into something this beautiful
was thinking the same!
Thank you for including and admitting to your mistakes and not just leaving them on the metaphorical cutting room floor. As a fellow maker who gets increasingly frustrated whenever I mess things up, it was cathartic, encouraging and inspiring to see you begin again.
The end result is incredible. I'm not sure I would have the patience (and I definitely don't have the skills or equipment) but you'd would be a stunning piece in any home!
WOW. That looks absolutely amazing. Also love how you showed the challenges associated with making these bowls. Great work keep at it. Would love to see more
I love, love, love this bowl. My husband was a woodworker. He built a king sized platform bed w/ 3” thick plywood edges for friends of mine. It was so heavy, even broken down, they sold it with their second home.
These turned out beautiful! It’s a one of a kind art piece that so few know how to do. Looking forward to the next project; I’d love to see more of these stave bowls. Great job 👍
Absolutely stunning! One of the most creative and beautiful pieces I've seen in a while. Keep on crushing it man! 👊🏻
Absolutely stunning! LOVED the scraps bowl as well, I think this shape would look amazing as hanging lampshades, like 3 or 4 on top of a dining table or 2 as night stands would be great!
Absolutely beautiful! You've got me wanting to give pattern plywood a try now.
BEAUTIFUL WORK, THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
That's just awesome. I love it. The "free" one is really cool too. It would make a great lamp shade it a hanging light.
Hi, Michael. This was in my recommendations and was great to watch.
Since you asked for project ideas, I think patterned plywood with veneers for contrast would make a great top for a guitar body. Maybe even a fingerboard, but I don't know how it would hold up to being radiused and slotted for frets. Thanks for sharing your work. 😊
This is a great thing to watch the making of. Please, give us more!
Your work and how you organize is amazing!
Great project, this will look stunning as a lamp shade with a steeper angle.
Thought exactly the same thing :D
Wow! You have to be over the moon with how this turned out. Easily my favorite patterned plywood project you’ve made thus far. The India ink bottom was a key finishing touch, really brought it all together.
One of the most amazing segmented bowls I ever saw! VERY impressive!
Wow! Absolutely incredible!
That’s it. I’m definitely going as “patterned plywood” next Halloween.
Also, thank you for not doing an epoxy pour on the bottom.
The wedges dont have to be wedge shaped. They can be foursided, rectangular. Cut the tip off so you have a side were you only need to give em a small tap before they loose up
It’s amazingly gorgeous. Well done.
Great job, MA! Beautiful work.
No se si tu lo sepas hermano pero realmente eres un artista increíble y me inspiras a ser mejor!!!
That's just incredible. I loved watching the whole thing, step by step. What an enormous amount of work.
Absolutely stunning. Great job
Brilliant
Thanks for sharing your process !
WOW! Great work - gorgeous bowl!
This bowl and this pattern plywood looks really good. I truly enjoyed watching the video. Please do some more.
Ok, that was awesome!! Thank you for sharing it with us! I would watch for sure other videos of you making more bowls like this one!
this is amazing. One of the most beautiful pieces I have seen ever. Bravo!
Amazing! The corners chipping off ending up giving the bowl edge a beautiful finished look. Wonderful work, well done... and the bonus bowl for little extra work. Superb.
This is ridiculously gorgeous! I've been following these last few videos with the colored veneers mixed in, and I never saw this coming. I don't have a lathe in my shop, but I've been wanting to try making bowls. This video came at the perfect time! Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm so glad this video popped up. What a beautiful bowl! It was fun watching you create this.
That indeed looks amazing.
I've got to try this sometime soon, for drawer facades.
Thanks a lot and keep those patterned plywood videos coming, they are great.
Probably the coolest build I’ve seen in a long while! Love the colours, love the experiment, love the tips,… nothing but love 😁👏👏
That is absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful bowl, I commend you for putting in all the work it takes to make patterned plywood. I have discovered you through this video and I am on board for more. Please continue making plywood look beautiful!!
That is very beautiful and unique. Wow!
WOW! that is freaking awesome! Wonderful job. Can't believe how it is all lined up so nicely!!!
This is my fav thing you've made yet! yes please more like this!!
This work you just made was hypnotic, congratulations!
Wow that is gorgeous! Great work!
Humbling experience to watch talented people not have all the answers but find a way to move their projects forward. Great woodworking!
so mesmerizing and stunning, honestly the most beautiful piece of woodworking I have ever seen. Amazing job Mike!
Dude ! So awesome. Like me you never throw away anything that still works. It's so cool to see a new purpose in life for Grandma's old iron !
That's ridiculously awesome! Wow!
Wonderful craftsmanship.
A beautiful work of art. Absolutely amazing.
Very nice job! I would have never thought to build a bowl as you do. Awesome!!
Absolutely stunning!
Wow!!! This is so amazing. Love watching the process too! Great work! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
That is mesmerizingly beautiful
That piece is beautiful! Great job!
Beautifully made. Congratulations on your tenacity
Beautiful work, thank-you for sharing your talent and hard work with these videos.
That is AMAZING. I really enjoyed this video and the final product is gorgeous.
I'm in love with that bowl, more patterned plywood projects would be great!!!
So incredible Michael. I really look forward to trying one of these. I say it every video thank you for always inspiring
Beautiful! Very inspirational Michael!
You can call the "bowl" a bowl, but I can see a $250.00 hanging lamp shade for over a table you made. The light peeking out would be so soft and intriguing. A leather recliner in dark brown, that masculine lamp shade for reading and a beverage of choice would make any man or woman feel wrapped in luxury. Fabulous job Michael. I want one. I'm a new sub that will be watching from now on. Great editing and soothing music makes me a keeper.
An artist is who you are. Beautiful work as usual.
Wow. This is just mind blowingly beautiful. What an amazing result, and process of getting there!!
That looks fantastic, great job!!
This is so gorgeous!
Absolutely amazing! Outstanding work and just an incredible outcome! Great job nailing the angles on the first try! Beautiful piece! Congrats on a job well done!
Wow! What an amazing bowl!
The most fantastic wood project I have ever seen!
Holy WHATTHEWHAAAAAAT!!!!
This project is AMAZING! I stumbled onto your site and really enjoy watching your process of work from start to finish. The detail you put into each piece of art (it is art!) Astounds me.
GREAT JOB Mike!
This bowl is absolutely beautiful. Way beyond my level of experience for now, as I am just starting out in putting a wood shop together. But I love what you’ve done.
Kudos! Absolutely beautiful!
That's seriously awesome, and incredibly inspiring. Thanks for sharing, absolutely loving these builds!!!
This bowl is simply awesome! Great work!
I'm just so impressed. Your videos have inspired me in the past to do some patterned stuff. Now patterned ply is always in the back of mind and now presents another design option when looking at things.
Stunning! Beautifully executed and explained.
Wow! That was an inspirational project. The finished product is fantastic!
very impressive concept, I hope you do another one of these!
Absolutely gorgeous Michael!
Incredible build well done!!
Michael, this turned out awesome!
That is a super bowl excellent piece
Thank you for sharing
I subscribed on your early patterned plywood projects...now it's just a whole Next level! Brilliant work Michael! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Absolutely stunning.
This very very beautiful 👏👏👏 thank you for taking the time and having the patience to make this piece of art and for share your process with us.
these would make such cool lampshades, especially with the teeny gaps/pinholes showing through!! i could see playing around with the gaps placement could make a cool shadow lamp!!
could work as a pendant lamp or sconces even!
Beautiful. Looks like a lampshade. Just needs a fancy bulb
WHOA! a VERY COOL project!! incredible talent!!!
Absolutely love this work!!
Michael, you are an amazing craftsman! Thank you for sharing.
Well done sir. That looks fantastic.
I can't believe I stopped what I was doing to watch this whole thing.
That was a beautiful piece of work... from plywood. Amazing.
