This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
wood badge in
Round Wood Woodworking.
This BB originated as a duplicate of
PEP: Carve two really nice bowls so you might be able to apply for that BB as well.
For this BB, you will carve two really nice wood bowls!
