Is there a ratio of the size of the plywood with which you start and how much patterned plywood with which you end up?

"sweet baby Jesus"……… It's going to be SUPER expensive but I think I finally figured out how I want to do the veneers on the top deck of the 10-foot mahogany runabout boat that I'm building. I'll have to make my own "plywood" by re-sign contrasting woods. Probably mahogany and white oak. Then I'll do something like this to make "planks".

it does look cool however it seems like a lot to go through just for some edge covers plus adding a veneer seems like it would make this a bit more expensive then just using a lower priced hardwood instead of plywood s look pretty cool but a lot of prep work and my be more expensive just just using a basic veneer

thank you for these ideas. I am thinking about using patterned plywood as the center slice in a bandsaw box!

Try blue tape on the bottom when u run them thru the bandsaw. However, pulling the tape off the 1/8" strips may break the pieces.

I have to admit even that strip you cut on the wrong side actually looks amazing. Has a lot of potential with both sides having a nice feel to them.

I love these Rockler clamps. I'd recommend covering them with cling film, because once you get them gummed with glue they are very difficult to clean. The paint comes off very easily. Use cling film between the wood and the clamps is the answer

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

Looking incredible, great vid, thanks

This guy made Plywood Damascus lol

It looks great, but if you do all this for a good looking piece of furniture, it might go into so much effort and time spent on beautifying the plywood that you could just have used solid wood anyways…

Try staining your woodglue as well. Might lead to some interesting results

One last thought, on the bandsaw, try placing a thin plywood sheet on the top of the table and run the blade 1/2 with a lip on the bottom of the plywood it should stay in place now use that as your zero clearance table top. This could also work on a table saw in a pinch.
Bug youll need to 2 side tape it down so it cant move.

12:40 try a jig to hold the strips evenly. put a strip of thin rubber on the contact surface when you sand so it doesnt slip.

This is probably obvious to most of you, but I’m curious why you made your 1/8 inch cuts on the bandsaw instead of with your tablesaw? Is it because the pieces are so slim? Or because the blade has large teeth that would break up the delicate pieces? In the latter case, couldn’t you install a blade with more teeth that are smaller? I’m asking both for safety and because I find my bandsaw wildly inaccurate. It tends to follow grain patterns and drift. I use mine mostly to do relief cuts and to precut off the bulk of larger pieces. Thanks.

The 3D illusion on the pattern is quite strong!

My fingers telling your fingers: push block.

You have no idea how many ideas this video gave me 🙏

About 11 minutes in, your strips make a Greek-key pattern alongside the diamond pattern! Nice!

Chevron cutting boards?

I used to make my own plywood from all kinds of wood veneer. The veneer is thin so you get a lot of layers and if you use dark and light wood it gives a great effect.

Very cool, but in all seriousness, how much does this add to the price?

that finished product is INCREDIBLE!

What if you also wrapped the blanks end over end with a layer of masking tape? Would prevent the bandsaw tearout and support the thin banding from breaking after cut.

Excellent! Very cool! Thank you for sharing.
