I like the idea of plywood…when its shaped it has a neat look with the different layers. I’ve always been a clear varnish type of wood working guy as I love the look of real wood. I always hate to paint something that is made of nice wood…
In wood shop, WAY back in high school I turned a bowl made of birch plywood, with bubinga in it, IIRC it was like 8 pieces of ply and 7 pieces of bubinga, glued up with an oak bottom and finished it with clear lacquer…’turned’ out real nice with the different layers of the ply showing 😀
I might have to try the plywood idea…if it turns out looking bad, I can always rattle can it, or bed-liner it 😉

Thanks guys
