So that would be about 8,333,333,333,333,333 board feet of Mahogany ...
or just a WHOLE FREAKIN' RAIN FOREST!

There are lots of lists of things to make, but not so much on
gussying up standard small bowls & boxes, and what is available has
been done so often that they have become standards themselves. viz,
Raffin, Stott et al........and me!


Ahhhhh. Think outside the box, young glasshoppah... Hows about this one?

You could rough out bowl or box shapes, then applying Artistic License
101 from the Jackson Pollack School of Technique, shoot them with a 12
gauge. Finish turn them to thickness revealing the scatter patterned
orbs of lead. Perhaps not a food-safe item tho.
