For weeks now I have put random pieces together until I had something about as big as a letter-size piece of paper. Then I spent a couple days ;-) on the computer trying to make a bowl pattern. Once I cut, I thought "bowl or tray", but my daughters both preferred the bowl version. So here we are. Saved lots of precious wood scraps. Took a lot of patience, but it payed off, I believe!
Hope y'all agree.
