Thats beautiful Tom!

What did you cut those holes with?  

Thanks for the tip on the jigsaw, Monica.  Much easier to control.   The coffee pour I first made was for the short-lived Graffiti restaurant which was in the Harmony Gallery space for about six minutes.    I recently made a much larger one for our neighbors at Mocha Joe's to put on the tasting table Greg and I made for them.  

The larger pour needed additional support for the pour shelf.  I wanted to keep the design light and airy so I concocted this way to use 3/32 brass rods twisted into a 90 degree spiral.   I thought it looked a bit like steam rising from a cup.  I was prompted by the design on the glass drippers that Mocha prefers.

The holes are drilled with a 50mm (2") Forstner bit.  I have a 2-1/2" bit for larger drippers.  I'm thinking of making this a regular product in our store.  Not sure what the standard number of holes should be.   Thoughts anyone?

Hi Tom,

Yes these are my bowls. Thanks

3, 3-holers.   I thought three holes would make a nice size for these in general.   I want to try one out of a solid piece of stack laminated wood, Michael Coffey style.
