I glued up a pile of sticks from the cutoff bin into a slab to be cut into sections and hogged out to make 3 catch all bowls. As the old saying goes, "the best laid plans".
Due to a combination of errors (jig slipped/tilted, too deep a cut) the first 2 bowls were disaster as shown. Fortunately the third one worked out.
In an attempt to salvage the first two, I attached them to a 2x6 with double sided tape and passed them through the TS to remove the damaged sides. The remaining intact pieces were then passed through the TS to form the sides of a box.
All in not a bad recovery.
If you can't make a bowl then make a box

Ooooo...I REALLY like that grey one! At first glance I thought it was marble. What is that grey wood? It looks like driftwood.

Re: If you can't make a bowl then make a box
I agree with John. I would never know that wasn't the original plan. Like my old signature used to say "a master woodworker isn't someone who never makes mistakes, they are someone who can fix them so that no one knows".

A man after my own heart, the price of lumber today makes the scrap bin a gold mine. Good job, good glueup.

Thank you one and all.

The grey ones are the unfinished originals and probably influenced by bad lighting in the photo. The grey wood is walnut. The attached photo is of the last remnant (yet to decide what to do with it) without any finish but better lighting for the photo.
