Amazing! I’m not sure where this falls on the workmanship of risk or
certainty spectrum.

Cliff, thank you for sharing that with us.  I had wondered how those old 
guys achieved such effects in pottery.  Now I know a bit more about it.

It looks to me that 3 of those spaces might accommodate wood-handled 
gimlets  (where the bottom appears to have been carved out somewhat). As 
for the rest, I have no ideas at the moment. My mind is a blank, a not 
uncommon occurrence...

Would brace-type forstner bits fit the slots?

I don't think so.� The tray is only .650 deep and the slots for the 
tools range from .170 to .250 wide.� If it were for forstner bits or any 
other auger-shanked tool, the slots would likely be closer together (for 
more tools) and wider (to accommodate the auger shank).
