Other than a teapot, what have you built with a donut?

[@richardmccoll9297]

I was inspired by an African form called a Mangbetu bottle which is also known as a stirrup handle bottle which has been used as a canteen for travelers all over the world. I have had students create candle sticks using the donut as the starting point and cutting it in half and adding pieces for the base and tops.
