Brilliant.

If the bowl has a lid, and a "slot" then you can keep your pennies in it. Thereby stoping you spending a penny. Again.

how I do it mark rings 1 1/4" wide how many defends on the size of the wood then drill on the lines at 45% the size of the hole depends on the size of your jig saw blade

Set your jig saw at 45% as well and cut on each line

I used to do this years ago when I didn't know of many places to buy bowl blanks so I cut up old pine bench seats and table tops
