Two really nice plates - PEM BB roundwood.wood.plates

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 Wood Plates so you might be able to apply for that BB as well.

For this BB, you will carve two really nice wood plates!
