Speaking of Bob Fields–

Several years ago the Charlotte Woodworker Association challenged its members to go buy a 8ft #2 2×4  and build something out of it. Participants were to bring it to the meeting and they’d have a judging to determine who had the best project. 
 
Bob won with this Hula Hoop. 
 
Yes. This Hula Hoop is made from a 2×4. 
 
He cut the 2×4 into 1/8″ strips and scarf jointed them. The center is hollow. This 36″ around Hula Hoop was made without a pattern. Bob said, “I knew how to do it the minute I thought about it”
