Great Sunday afternoon, beautiful rainy weather, dry shed, nice piece of Camphor, the boss said a two tiered lidded bowl was a good idea. I agreed, away I go. All goes like a dream till I reverse the bottom to knock of the tenon and ......., dontcha hate that....

Ditto, don't give up. You could even achieve a nice symmetry making the bottom piece as high as the top one. Let us know how you go!:)

I feel yor pain, Sebastian... but I agree with the other two... can ya make a save somehow???
Really had a nice one goin'... heck, it's still nice... just sit it on the shelf... turn the nice side to the front.

Nice piece, hope it turns out in the end!

Was looking sooo good too. I hope there is a plan "B". Every dissapointment needs a good recovery. Sometimes they come out better than the original concept.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the encouragement. Plan B, well the bottom copped a few dings and scratches as it played space shuttle across the shed. We will see. Of more concern is the crack I noticed last night on the lid. I thought this piece was dry.....

Bugga,Don,t you hate that,looked good to,i had 7 lace bobbins (camphor)break one after the other couple of days ago.
Back in the shed and try again
Good luck with plan B Dick
