Bob for turning bowls .... You can glue up a bunch of slabs of wood same or all different .. Now the end of the pile you've glued together coat completely with white glue and stick one sheet of newspaper to that .. Now take a scrap slab of wood and smear white glue all over oneside and stick that to the newspaper..Clamp it all together squeeze tight and comeback later when its dry ... When its dry screw faceplate to the scarp piece using wood screws only long enough to get a good bite but not going through to your work pieces .. Mount on lathe and turn your bowl .. When you are done remove work from lathe and wood chisel off scrap piece.. that newspaper should split right in half leaving you a nice clean bottom to your bowl ,,,lazy susan .. whatever,,,,woodshop 68
