The CMT Bowl and Tray Kit, BTS-001, provides a fun and easy way for you to make divided bowls and trays in your shop. No lathe? No problem. This bowl making technique uses a router and CMT’s unique Bowl and Tray router bit. The resulting bowls and trays are beautiful, and will leave your friends saying, “How did you make this?”  What great gifts! This project provides an excellent way to use up scrap wood. Glue pieces together, butcher block style, to make a beautiful pattern of colors and species.

The kit includes two templates, a Bowl and Tray bit, and a collet extension, along with full written instructions and an instructional DVD.


The templates will withstand a lifetime of use, and can be used to make more than just one style of bowl or tray. So, with a little imagination, the two included templates will allow you to make a variety of shapes and styles of bowls and trays. The collet extension, used to make extra deep bowls, is also useful whenever your general woodworking requires extra deep cuts.
