David enlightened me on the "paper bag glue" thing. I tried it and it worked. Only downside is it takes overnight for the glue to dry. (My choice). I recently made some recipe boxes out of Zebrawood, they look good, so I said "What would a bowl look like." Now the cringe part. I opted to use a 4" steel faceplate and a trick I tought myself a few years ago, to turn the bowl.
>>> Center the plate on the bottom of the bowl. Install 2 small screws. Remove the screws. Have HMG ready to go. With a propane torch, warm the faceplate to about 140 degrees, Quickly put a couple small rings HMG on the bowl bottom, quickly place the faceplate back with the same orientation and reinstall screws, just enough to hold the plate down. A clamp might help here. Let it cool for about an hour and start turning. This is the first time I've tried it on Zebrawood. Oak, pine, etc worked well. Sometimes I even had to heat the faceplate to get it off when I was finished. Stay tuned to this thread to see how far the bowl flies.

I had to use self drilling screws. Zwood pretty hard.

This is the bowl as of 10:00 p.m. EST USA, Saturday June 1, 2013.

These things can go a long way at 2000 rpm.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Espanol
La corrección política es una doctrina impulsada por un delirante, ilógico, minoría liberal y rabiosamente promovido por un medios de comunicación sin escrúpulos, que diserta la proposición de que es perfectamente posible para recoger un turd al final limpio.
