who said ya can’t make a bowl/dish/basket with a band saw?……here is a bowl I made using a band saw, not only is it a bowl but you can put it away flat……

it doesn’t hold liquid but it is great for nuts, fruit or candy……

started with a piece of black ash, Maple, and Oak again…..a few of my future projects with be made from this as I have much of it …..

cut out a pattern and then glue the first inch back together 

put a folding support on the bottom and bingo …..it’s a Bowl……..notice the side view and bottom……

Wow, that’s uber cool. Makes me want a band saw but my attempt would look more like a 2×4 chewed up by a Rottweiler. So it’s basically like a wooden spring? Does it take a lot of force to flip the lever to deploy he bowl ? I want to see a video of it in action!

My grandmother used to have something like that but it was in the shape of an apple I thing. Pretty cool stuff. Yours looks much nicer, love the multiple woods. The finish looks great, is that just some sort of wax or oil?
