Henry1 has the design I'd like to start with. Those would size up and work well for salad mixing and serving. Someone mentioned trying to contact the original poster directly. I didn't mention it in my original post but I had tried that before I even posted. He may have moved on to other ventures who knows? I didn't get a response.
Oscar, while your wife may be happy with your design, I kind of like your first design better even though it would be a bear to clean up all the detail with sandpaper.
