Our turning club had a one Board Foot challenge. We had to turn something from any wood/s or other material that was no more than a total of one board foot, started as 1" thick material and it could be put together anyway we wanted or used whole but no more than 12" in any direction. I made this decorative plate using Satin Walnut (Red Gum) as the sky and White Oak being the windblown prairie. It is 11 3/4" across so I easily made the 12" rule. Finish is a Tried and True, a food safe linseed oil and wax.

That's a really clever challenge, and a great solution too. Nicely turned, great job :banana:

Lovely piece and finish well done.
But Recently saw a bowl made from a 10" x 1" piece, finished piece stood approx 4" in height.
Don't think I took a photo but will see if I can find some somewhere.......

Found these three each piece was cut at different angles and glued together to give basic shape of the bowl 🥣..... can't get the other two to transfer????

Some of the members made bowls from stacked rings cut on their bandsaws and some made segmented pieces. I think one used tapered staves for their bowl. There were a variety of boxes and one made 30 pens out of his board. It was a fun thing for the club to do and from time to time we will have other challenges to keep things interesting.
