    DIG IT: Peter Hanchak’s cardboard crater bowl was inspired by the contoured landscapes of architecture site models.

1

Cut enough 3" x 10" cardboard strips to form a solid square block. You’ll need 60 to 70 strips depending on thickness. If you have access to a workshop, cut the strips with a band saw.

2

Glue the strips together one by one. (Be sure to apply the glue evenly.) Push the block flush against the wall to keep things good and square as you go.

3

Place a telephone book on the stack and wait a day for the glue to set. When the block is dry, draw a circle on top using a plate as a guide.

Now, using a drill with a standard wire-brush attachment, sculpt a bowl shape. Create one big crater in the center or a few smaller divots. Or try one larger scoop with four small dips. A band saw lets you cut the block into an even more contoured shape. Look at that: You’re a landscape architect.
