On the Instructables website I saw the "One board contest". In the description of the contest it said: "We want to see how you can maximize material usage through smart, efficient designs."
It made me think: what can I make from a single 2x4 framing stud, using the entire stud efficiently?
While I was thinking about what I could make, I was looking out of the window and our chicken came to sit just in front of me. I thought: I am going to make a large egg from a single 2x4 and try to make it as large as possible.
If I would make the egg of solid wood, the egg would not be very large, so I decided to make a hollow egg by cutting the 2x4 in many small pieces and gluing them all together.
