Project Ideas
Business
Monogrammed Catchall Trays (Events & Pop-Ups)

Restaurant Charcuterie & Flight Boards
Offer boards with multiple dished wells for nuts, sauces, or tasting cups, plus a large concave field for meats and cheeses. Laser- or router-engrave logos and provide bulk pricing to restaurants, breweries, and wineries.
Wedding Favor Ring Dishes
Produce small concave ring dishes from hardwood offcuts, personalized with the couple’s names and date. Upsell gift sets and custom display stands. Market through wedding planners, Etsy, and local boutiques.
Raised-Letter Brand Signs
Use the bit to remove background material and leave logos and lettering raised for a premium, hand-carved look. Offer menu boards, countertop signs, and door plaques to cafes, salons, and retail shops.
Scrap-to-Cash Coin Bowls
Turn shop scraps into small dished coin/key bowls using simple circle templates for fast, repeatable cuts. Minimal finishing time and high perceived value make these ideal impulse buys near checkout counters.
Creative
Topographic Relief Map Tray
Use the dish carving bit to step-cut contour lines into a hardwood blank, then smooth transitions for a topographic landscape tray. Add river channels and a lake recess, finish with contrasting stains to accent elevation changes, and seal with a durable food-safe oil for a functional art piece.
Geode Resin Coasters
Dish shallow concave pockets in small square or round blanks, leaving a crisp rim. Paint a metallic edge, pour tinted epoxy with mica and crushed glass for a geode effect, then sand flush and finish the underside with cork. Sell as coordinated sets with varied colorways.
Raised-Letter Recipe Plaque
Transfer a family recipe or quote as a stencil, then route away the background to leave the lettering proud. The bit’s radius gives a soft dish around the text. Torch or stain the recess for contrast, paint-fill the letters if desired, and add keyhole slots for hanging.
Curved Dice & Card Tray
Carve a large concave field with a shallow perimeter lip for rolling dice or holding cards. Inset a suede or felt liner after routing a recess. Add small dished pockets for tokens or coins using a template for uniform spacing.
Gongfu Tea Tray with Channels
Create a central dished surface to catch spills and carve gentle runoff channels leading to a hidden drain or removable catch cup. Combine contrasting woods, add bamboo slats over the recess, and finish with water-resistant oil.
