I blogged the background story to this project. This is my submission for the Winter 2×4 Challenge. This is a Bowl from a 2×4. This method of construction is a staple of the salad bowl industry. If you google bowl from a board, you can take a look at a few other methods of contsruction!
Well, Mr. 2×4, thanks for giving me a great 4 nights in the shop, some anxiety, a great challenge, and a neat project from some wood that was bound for the dump!
Thanks for looking!

I still have my 2×4 and no idea of what I want to do. Maybe I’ll make a box of toothpicks! Nice bowl Tom! Like your photography as well.

Oh yes, yes, yes! A great outcome, Mot. And not a right angle or straight line to be seen – it’s along way from its origins. Marvellous. Helpful blog too.

Posting after reading blog-
Hey Pisano…....I’ll take a slide. Alot of good thinking in that bowl Mot….Love it!!!!
Even some truely excellent words of woodworking widom: “I’ll workout how to correct the error later. I was still thinking at this point.”
Super work Tom…............a little potpourri and your bowl would set nice on Bob#2’s, 2×4 shelf.
There’s good stuff coming out of the 2×4’s.

Ha Ha very clever, just a little “outside the board” thinking here. Change of typical segmented wood for a bowl and voila, a beautiful bowl. I love it. Great job.

Mot,
Very creative. You have two photos: one with fruit and the second – are those noodles?
The 2×4 competition was intended to get LJs creative juices flowing. You have done it.
