I have been wondering for some time how plywood would turn since I saw some pieces turned by other turners. I also found an interesting method for pentagon bowls that I wanted to try.

That’s the genesis of PentaPly!

The finish is 7 coats of highly polished gloss lacquer (Deft) following 5 coats of sanding sealer and many voids were filled with CA. I proved to my satisfaction that CA could be used to make repairs and will become invisible when a clear lacquer finish is used.

The photos were taken in my new store bought light box…….

I think it turnedoutright…..:)
