Now that people have turned corn cobs and pine cones - could
toilet paper be "stabilized" and turned - it does come in some
nice pastel colors and there's no grain pattern to worry about.

Oh - and ice. Think of the possibilities - but you'dneed to turn
in a freezer - or be able to turn really really quickly. Gallery
spots could be a problem as well - brie hardens at low temp
and wine has a lower limit when it comes to serving temperatures
- although really cold champagne is quite nice - in a frosted
champagne glass.

Saw a vase in a store the other day. Looked like it had been turned, but
when I picked it up to check the bottom G I discovered it was glass
tarted up to look a bit like wood. Made in China.
