It's just insane, how good your work is. Superb. I've become quite fond of working with Birch plywood too, though my applications with this material have not been more conventional, and on the utilitarian side. My sculptural work, to date, has been in the abstract realm, but limited to very hard Stone. The woodcrafter in me, and the sculptor alike, find your work fascinating and deeply satisfying to behold. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for your interest in my work. I stack laminate and carve using various plywoods. I use a lot of Baltic Birch plywood.

I've always enjoyed the scenery of the slot canyons in Utah with all the layers of rocks and their wind blown, water carved curvature. Some of these pieces remind me very much of them with their many layers and curves. I've experimented with many styles of rustic woodworking but have never found a good use for plywood as a finished product. This is very inspiring and the best use of plywood as art that I've ever seen so far.

you have reached a balance on so many levels. they are truly a marvel to look at , over and over and over . thank you Mr. Knopp .beautiful . and it cant be explained ha lol we don't have the technology yet

the ultimate 'good feeling' one gets while going through his or her life , is when one /we create something from nothing . plenty of things make us feel good but creation , creating and becoming a creator . that is the goal of all mankind . Mr. Knopp your works , must give you an absolute closeness to that _____and I would guess you enter into it (each piece) even after your done , transfixed inside each line every curve every glimmer . I know what I sound like . . . but thats alright . some parts of us stay inside each one this much I know . that something else that guides hands which cant be explained or claimed is also there . not bible thumping here . bibles are explained . its beauty or love I think .

I can relate to that feeling you have when working on a piece. My process is totally intuitive. When you get through some chaos to start a new piece, I find myself flowing with the material as I carve. One enters a zone which seems beyond your conscience. I can look at some older finished pieces and wonder how I got there. The piece takes over and absorbs your intentions.

hi David, great stuff I love the flowing shapes. what do you shape with? grinder and a wheel? if so what is a good wheel to shape with? thanks!

I use Holey Galahad See Through Disc Round Coarse on a 4in grinder to get the work roughed out. Sabortooth is another brand you may try, less pricey. Try viewing some videos on youtube to see the products in action.

Thank you for the response. I found both products. Definitely little pricey..do you recommend one over the other? Do they last long?

I get my Baltic Birch through a large plywood warehouse in Baltimore my hometown. If you are going to stack laminate your wood, you are concerned with the layers inside more then the veneer. Avoid some of the plywoods in Big Box stores like Home Depot. Most of their products come from China and you could have issues with voids and delamitation. If you are experimenting with a process, a good Birch veneer plywood will work. Even though the fill is probably poplar. I have made pieces with it, not bad to work with. take a good look at the fill layers when purchasing.

Big fan of your work! Looks great! I'm experimenting with plywood myself too! It's a great way to recycle old and used plywood and turn it into art.
@dlknopp 7 жыл бұрын
When I started experimenting with stack lamination, I also used recycled plywood or cheaper grades. When you are more comfortable with the process you should try some Baltic Birch. It is more stable and no voids in layers. Thanks and cheers.

Absolutely beautiful! As someone who doesn't necessarily like straight lines you have inspired me to try a different approach to woodworking. Can I ask what finish do you like to use on your pieces?
@dlknopp 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your interest. I finish most of my pieces with hand rub poly. Minwax carries it, or you can mix your own by thinning standard poly. I apply up to 3 coats, sanding between with 320-400 grit Abranet abrasives. Step out of the box and go for it.

Excellent work! That takes a lot of patience. After you do the initial grinding to get the shapes, how do you get all the scratches out? What tools do you use? I am doing some plywood pedestals, and it seems like it takes forever to sand all the scratches out.
