Any one doing the Rockler plywood Challenge?

Hey,

Planning to start my entry to the #rocklerplywoodchallange on Friday. I’m doing a plywood carved stool/seat for our entrance hallway. I’m going to use the X carve to cut the various layers which i’ll then glue up and carve to give the final shape. It will be topped off with a seat/top made of toughen blue glass.

Anyone else doing an entry?

run by the Modern Maker podcast guys. Basically 1 sheet of plywood, what can you build. Can be any ply at any thickness just a 8x4 sheet. Can use small amounts of other material but it should be mainly the plywood. Check the hashtag on Instagram #rocklerplywoodchallenge

So i finished my entry over the weekend, Its a coffee table made from stacked plywood with a glass top. I cut the layers with the X carve and then a flap disk on the grinder to sculpt the shape.
