Wood bowl - PEM BB roundwood.straw.woodbowl

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Round Wood Woodworking.

As your roundwood construction skills are improving, it's time to make things that are elegant.  Maybe you've gotten sick of eating your soup out of the pot.  Let's make a wooden bowl!
