I experimented

[OCtoolguy]

I ran across a laser pattern and decided to give it a try. This is the prototype. Many lessons learned. The next one will be better. I used 5/16" b/bb that I had. Not the best stuff. Anyway, here it is.

That's a really cool design.  First time I've seen that style.

You did a dynamite job on that. The BB looks good. You're getting to be a master at bowls! Nice work.

I was just surfing through Pinterest and came across a spiral bowl. And any sort of bowl gets my attention. I clicked on the picture and had to do some searching to find the pattern. It's done by a person outside of the U.S. I can't recall where but they were on "Thingyverse.com" a maker site.

Great job.  I printed that pattern a few years ago but never got around to cutting it.

How did you manage to find the owner and the pattern? That in  itself is impressive. Designer is out of the country. Wow!

Looks great!

That is very unique. Nice work and IMHO I think it looks great in BB.

Thanks for your comment. What I meant to say was, the BB plywood I used wasn't the best quality. I'm going to make another one out of a better grade of BB. What I had laying around was not the best and it had been water stained at one time. I guess that's why I got it for $5 for the whole sheet. Most of it is good.

Awesome looking piece, great work

That is such a unique bowl. I really love the look and you’ve put it together beautifully.

Thanks for your input. I accidently came across it on Pinterest and had to do some searching to find the actual pattern. I found the designer on Thingyverse. Here is a pic of his name and contact info.
