Wengie winged bowl with olivewood, bocote paduk and cherry bottle stoppers

bubinga rolled lip bowl. I learned from this that not only do you have to watch where you are cutting, but it is easy to get your hand against the bowl's lip when undercutting it. (Knuckles are missing a little skin [:)] )

Spalted Poplar plate. If anyone knows of a better way, I am interested. My cole jaws will not hold a 13" platter, so I have been hot gluing the face plate to the back of the plate. It works, but torching the faceplate to remove it, worries me that I might warp it.

Lastly, this is a maple burl bowl with some more stoppers, Paduk with captive rings and turquoise inlay, wengie, bocote t-handle stopper and another I cannot see.
I have been turning for about 9 months total so far, and about 6 with a lathe large enough for bowls. I appreciate any input or tips to help me improve. As you can see from the bubinga piece, I still have trouble with end grain tearing out a little (or is it that I just have not been spending enough time sanding?) and that I still have not figured out a good way to mount the plates. Any thoughts or suggestions?
