STEP 1  Cut the strips of plywood

I cut mine to 1-1/8" because I wanted them to end up being 1"

STEP 2  Glue it Up

Apply glue generously across the plywood strips. I like using a silicone brush to spread it all out.  Clamp to dry.

STEP 3  Cut into angled strips

As you make the cuts, keep them all in the same order. This is important to get the correct continuous chevron pattern.

Step 4  arrange the chevron and glue it up

Once all the cuts are laid out in the original order they were cut, creating a chevron pattern is simply flipping every other strip.

Step 5  Cut a circle

There are many ways to cut a circle out of wood. You can use a jigsaw or a router and a circle jig.

Step 6  Apply Finish

I wanted it to be food contact safe and seal the plywood so I went ahead and poured a layer of clear epoxy.
