      <title>Fruit Bowl 2009b</title>
      <link>http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/RoySablosky/3894</link>
      <description>The first thing I drew was the profile. A bowl has to have an elegant shape, a graceful curve, otherwise I don't want it in my kitchen.

The first design for this bowl was beautiful (I still have the prototype), but too expensive to make and too fragile for daily use. This revised version is almost the same shape, but has fewer, thicker layers. Instead of twisted wire it's held together with press-fit steel pins. It's been in our kitchen for a year and I've grown to love it.

The cutting laser creates a two-tone effect, which I did not expect at first: all the vertical surfaces of the bowl are coal-dark, while the horizontal surfaces remain bamboo-pale. There is also a faint burnt aroma, which I really like.

The finished bowl is about 34 cm (13.5 inches) across and 9.4 cm (3.7 inches) high. It is made of 13 layers of plywood, each 7 mm (0.28 inches) thick. Each ring has four laser-drilled 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) holes to accommodate the pins.

Here is the &quot;trick&quot; I'm using to turn a flat wooden disk into a three-dimensional bowl. The wood is laser-cut into 13 concentric rings. But the rings are ovoid, not circular. This becomes more obvious as the pieces get smaller; they are staggered in shape as well as size. The long and short axes are graduated so that the 6-to-12-o'clock diameter of each piece matches the 3-to-9-o'clock diameter of the next bigger piece. Therefore, when you take them apart and rotate every other piece by a quarter-turn, they stack instead of nesting: the left-to-right span of each one overlaps with the top-to-bottom span of the one underneath.

When you order this bowl, Ponoko will laser-cut the material and send it to me. I will assemble it into a bowl and send it to you. No assembly is required on your end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dsc02185_showroom_image&quot; src=&quot;http://static0.ponoko.com/design_images/images/9817/4f0e7440-773c-3d30-83e3-c64d2148fb5a/dsc02185_showroom_image.png?1261541605&quot; /&gt;</description>

      <title>Fruit Salad Coasters in Blonde Bamboo</title>
      <link>http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/designerica/3948</link>
      <description>The beautiful symmetries to be found in nature go beyond flora and foliage with these fruit-slice inspired shapes that exhibit a variety of radial patterns.  Despite the modern nature of these digitally-designed and laser-cut pieces, each also expresses the irregularities and imperfections that make nature so surprising and wonderful.

These pieces are approximately 3 inches in diameter, use them to protect your wooden surfaces from condensation on cold glasses.  A great gift for anyone who loves plants, nature or gardening, foodies, chefs, or vegetarians!

Each set of six includes one of each fruit: Apple, Cucumber, Okra, Persimmon, Pomegranate, Tomato.    This set is made from 3mm blonde bamboo.  These designs will soon be available as jewelry, as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;6_coasters_burned_side_showroom_image&quot; src=&quot;http://static2.ponoko.com/design_images/images/13475/f8091a89-a5d7-3046-a416-c595aa340b11/6_coasters_burned_side_showroom_image.jpg?1263575339&quot; /&gt;</description>

      <title>Pick-a-Pair Fruit Salad Earrings</title>
      <link>http://www.ponoko.com/showroom/designerica/4047</link>
      <description>Pick apples.  Pick tomatoes.  Pick a pair of earrings.  Go wild: choose two different fruits in the same color or two of the same fruit in different colors.  Or stick with the trusted original and select a matching pair.

Each piece is approximately 1.25 inches in diameter and hangs parallel to the ear from a sterling silver french wire hook.

The beautiful symmetries to be found in nature go beyond foliage with these fruit-slice inspired shapes that exhibit a variety of radial patterns.  Despite the modern nature of these digitally-designed and laser-cut pieces, each also expresses the irregularities and imperfections that make nature so wonderful.

The fruits are: Apple, Cucumber, Okra, Persimmon, Pomegranate, Tomato.  They come in Black or Bamboo.  Necklaces also available as a separate listing.  PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH EARRINGS YOU WOULD LIKE OR WE WILL SEND A RANDOM PAIR.

Please note that due to the nature of the material there may be some burning on the bamboo pieces.  At least one side will be predominantly burn-free.
