Making a Bowl from a Thin Board or "Efficient Use of Material"
Stephen will show how to use a thin piece of stock to quickly and easily make a bowl of volume using very little material. He cuts concentric rings from a thin, dry plank of wood using a modified parting tool and then glues the rings back together in a bowl shape. This technique also maintains continuity of color, density and pattern throughout the piece. Too good to be true? Come and find out how easy it is.
Stephen Gleasner's lifelong addiction to wood, after many incarnations within the genre, has manifested itself in his current work with plywood. His work has been exhibited internationally and featured in books, magazines and on television. His past experiences include cabinetmaking, boomerang making, exhibit and display making, woodturning instructor, and a stint in a guitar factory.
